User testing is used as tool to test a websites usability and funtionality over a variety of web browsers, such as
Google, Firefox, and many other search engines/browsers. Each browser has its own way of rendering and displaying a website as it interprets the
code contained in website files. There can be problems when browsers do not read the code of an application in a similar fashion and does not display, interact,
or function as intended.
Therefore, there is a need for testing so web developers and designers can 'tweak' or fix code to optimize
the experience on each separate platform and browser. As you can imagine, this is a very powerful tool as the necessity to function on every type
of browser search engine is mandatory for any professional develper. This tool is used by many different types of businesses, corporations,
web developers, and designers as well!
The lambda test, a cloud based cross browser tester, is the most powerful tool for testing web applications. It tests more than 2000 different
browsers, operating systems, and devices to help developers make each platform user-friendly.
User testing uses actual people, instead of computer driven simulation techniques, to log on and test sites everyday to improve the online search experience
on the various browsers. There are user testing jobs available online, and there are sites that cater to this exclusively. Nowadays, corporations
have some applications that are so large and contain so much information and technical code, that a team is necessary to aid in this endeavor.
