We do a lot of cross-browser development, as i'm sure a lot of developers do in this day and age. With various versions of IE, Firefox, Chrome, etc. being targeted (in addition to mobile/responsive versions of sites) I sometimes find it very inefficient to load and cycle through numerous Virtual Machines to check out a SPA or website and test in various environments.
Automated end-to-end testing can only get you so far, and won't provide any visual cues in terms of how a browser may render things differently. I know there are a great number of tools (online and off, most with licensing fees) with allow the user to screencap across most browsers, but they don't handle redirects very well, if at all, and at times I really don't trust the results they give, not to mention a static shot of a website in a browser is close to useless.
I guess the real question is are there any good, efficient toolchains for cross-browser testing? What do other developers use? Is there a best solution for this kind of thing? Is using a VM the proper way?
I know this is somewhat similar to a number of questions already asked but I haven't found one with a comprehensive discussion, so apologies in advance if this is determined a duplicate.
