Install

Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.

npx skills add https://github.com/proffesor-for-testing/agentic-qe --skill compatibility-testing
  1. 01

    Install

    Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.

  2. 02

    Describe the task

    Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads compatibility-testing automatically when relevant.

  3. 03

    Review the result

    The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

SKILL.md

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

Compatibility Testing

Browser engine

Browser-driven checks (viewport emulation, responsive validation, cross-browser screenshots) should go through the qe-browser fleet skill (.claude/skills/qe-browser/). Vibium is installed by aqe init. Quick reference:

# Viewport emulation per breakpoint
vibium viewport 375 667   # mobile
vibium viewport 768 1024  # tablet
vibium viewport 1920 1080 # desktop

# Full device emulation (user-agent, DPR, touch)
vibium emulate-device "iPhone 15"

# Visual diff per viewport
for vp in "375 667 mobile" "768 1024 tablet" "1920 1080 desktop"; do
  read w h name <<< "$vp"
  vibium viewport $w $h
  node .claude/skills/qe-browser/scripts/visual-diff.js --name "homepage-$name"
done

Cross-browser (Firefox/Safari) still requires Playwright or a cloud device farm today — Vibium's BiDi backend is Chrome-only at v26.3.x.

<default_to_action> When validating cross-browser/platform compatibility:

  1. DEFINE browser matrix (cover 95%+ of users)
  2. TEST responsive breakpoints (mobile, tablet, desktop)
  3. RUN in parallel across browsers/devices
  4. USE cloud services for device coverage (BrowserStack, Sauce Labs)
  5. COMPARE visual screenshots across platforms

Quick Compatibility Checklist:

  • Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge (latest + N-1)
  • Mobile Safari (iOS), Mobile Chrome (Android)
  • Screen sizes: 320px, 768px, 1920px
  • Test on actual target devices for critical flows

Critical Success Factors:

  • Users access from 100+ browser/device combinations
  • Test where users are, not where you develop
  • Cloud testing reduces 10 hours to 15 minutes </default_to_action>

Quick Reference Card

When to Use

  • Before release
  • After CSS/layout changes
  • Launching in new markets
  • Responsive design validation

Cross-Browser with Playwright

// playwright.config.ts
import { defineConfig, devices } from '@playwright/test';

export default defineConfig({
  projects: [
    { name: 'chromium', use: { ...devices['Desktop Chrome'] } },
    { name: 'firefox', use: { ...devices['Desktop Firefox'] } },
    { name: 'webkit', use: { ...devices['Desktop Safari'] } },
    { name: 'mobile-chrome', use: { ...devices['Pixel 5'] } },
    { name: 'mobile-safari', use: { ...devices['iPhone 12'] } }
  ]
});

// Run: npx playwright test --project=chromium --project=firefox

Cloud Testing Integration

// BrowserStack configuration
const capabilities = {
  'browserName': 'Chrome',
  'browser_version': '118.0',
  'os': 'Windows',
  'os_version': '11',
  'browserstack.user': process.env.BROWSERSTACK_USER,
  'browserstack.key': process.env.BROWSERSTACK_KEY
};

// Parallel execution across devices
const deviceMatrix = [
  { os: 'Windows', browser: 'Chrome' },
  { os: 'OS X', browser: 'Safari' },
  { os: 'Android', device: 'Samsung Galaxy S24' },
  { os: 'iOS', device: 'iPhone 15' }
];

Agent-Driven Compatibility Testing

// Cross-platform visual comparison
await Task("Compatibility Testing", {
  url: 'https://example.com',
  browsers: ['chrome', 'firefox', 'safari', 'edge'],
  devices: ['desktop', 'tablet', 'mobile'],
  platform: 'browserstack',
  parallel: true
}, "qe-visual-tester");

// Returns:
// {
//   combinations: 12,  // 4 browsers × 3 devices
//   passed: 11,
//   differences: [{ browser: 'safari', device: 'mobile', diff: 0.02 }]
// }

Remember

Cover 95%+ of your user base. Use analytics to identify actual browser/device usage. Don't waste time on browsers nobody uses.

With Agents: Agents orchestrate parallel cross-browser testing across cloud platforms. qe-visual-tester catches visual inconsistencies across platforms automatically.
