Abstract
For ensuring the displaying effects of Web applications, it is important to perform compatibility testing for browsers under the different configurations and it is a hard task to test all. So this paper focused on the improvements for browser compatibility testing. Firstly, we introduced the related work. Then we analysed the functional speciality of the current popular browsers, and provided the preconditions to simplify problems. Next we gave an instance and brought forward the single factor covering method and the pair-wise covering design to gain testing suits. Finally, we introduced the assistant tools we have developed and the future work.
