Select browser from within a test case

It is great that iTest will let you use external browsers. But it would be really useful to specify the browser when running a test case, so that I could run a test against firefox and IE and make sure both work without manual intervention.

You can do that in iTest for the built in browser (which is firefox) and external IE, but the only version of IE supported is 7.

In the Web session profile, there is section to select what browser to use for capture, and what browser to use for replay(execution)

 

Although, in most cases, items captured from one browser will play fine in another browser; there may be some exceptions to that mainly because of DOM rendering variations in different browsers. Also, some  actions like downloading files, are not supported on IE, but only o the internal firefox browser. 

 

It would, indeed, be nice to be able to test on a variety of external browsers in the future.

Hello, 

 

 I want to change browser type at test case level dynamically .

 I dont want to go session profile , modify capture and replay browser type "Internal Browser\Internet Explorer" before running test case . I just change browsertype at test cases before opening session profile. I mean to say that Is there any way to get browsertype in test case so that I can handle my test case depends upon browser type.

 

Thanks,

Prasad
