How do I execute web testing with multiple browsers and versions of each browser
We have a requirement to test our scripts with multiple browsers and multiple versions of each browser. 1. How do we architect our scripts so we can pass in different sessions/browsers in the Open test step? 2. Can we have multiple versions of a browser on our single server? We have hundreds of test cases that need to execute across each of the browsers you support - can I change the browser and path in the inherited session profile to change the replay across all the tests?

We can use Selenium session for this purpose. Unfortunately it will not support all the browsers except the browsers and versions I mentioned below.
1. Firefox-Capture and execution (replay):
RHEL5: Firefox 14 and 17
Windows: Firefox 15~22
2. Internet Explorer-Execution (replay) only:
Internet Explorer 8, 9, and 10
If the iTest host has multiple versions of Browser installed, specify the path of the version to use - Capture > Browser > Firefox path property to specify the version to use while you capture interactive Selenium sessions.
Default: iTest finds and uses the most up‑to‑date version of Firefox on the iTest host.
You have the option to use the same or a different browser when replaying the captured steps or when executing an automated test case. See the Replay > Browser > Replay Browser property.
