Running tests on multiple browsers

Tests can run on different browsers in parallel to speed execution and confirm multiple configurations. They can run locally on only Chrome, or on Chrome and other browsers in supported grids including Testim's grid, 3rd party grids like Sauce Labs and Browserstack, or on your own internal Selenium-based grid.

The operating system running the browser will depend on the grid you are running.

On what browsers and OS you can run your tests?

How to run your tests on multiple browsers?
