Internet Explorer Browser Testing
Internet Explorer (IE) browser testing checks that your site or app remains functional and visually intact in IE versions. While IE usage is dropping, some businesses and legacy systems still require its support. Testing in IE helps prevent broken layouts, missing features, or scripting errors that can frustrate these remaining users.

Why Bother With Internet Explorer Testing?
If you have enterprise customers or users in regulated industries, IE compatibility may be required by contract or policy. IE’s outdated rendering engine can produce issues unseen in modern browsers. Even as IE phases out, ensuring basic usability prevents last-minute emergencies or complaints. It’s about providing a complete, professional service for all visitors.
Internet Explorer Testing Tips and Tools
Use cloud services like BrowserStack or virtual machines to test across different IE versions. Keep your codebase clean with fallbacks for features not supported in IE. Document which app features are IE-compatible and communicate any critical gaps to stakeholders. Regular IE testing—even at a minimal level—will help you cover all bases as the browser fades away.
