Use multiple browsers in same test script

We run all our tests on Chrome. The development team has just implemented a popup window to users when they try to access our website using IE. This only comes up in IE.

So I need a way of running the whole test in Chrome but then also launching IE to check for this popup and return back to execution on Chrome. How would I do this?

Hi Dominic,

The following questions would better help us understand the purpose of your request:

1- Can the popup be checked in a separate test executed using IE?

2- What is the purpose of running the test in Chrome?

1.) I would prefer not to but if that is the only solution I guess that is what I will have to do. The only thing in that entire test would be to launch our site in IE and check the popup.

2.) All of our tests are run on Chrome. This is an added check/test case to an already existing (long) test procedure that is all run in Chrome except for this new check/test at the end.

Hi Dominic,

Would you please elaborate why you would prefer no to? Is there any end user they will use this scenario or this is just to ease your testing because IE is a problematic browser?

We are slowly phasing out support for IE altogether. The currently implementation is to present the end user with a pop-up that says 'some features of our website may not work correctly or be supported by IE' and then we give them the option to Continue using it anyway....for now.

Eventually they won't have the option to continue at all.

Hi Dominic,

Thank you so much for the clarification. We suggest to use IE to execute any test cases like this until you no longer need them.

Please let us know if you encounter any issues and we would be glad to assist.
