Testing for Fragmentation: Is your UX tested for Global Compatibility?

What's this blog post about?

Fragmentation testing is crucial for ensuring global compatibility of user experience (UX) across various devices, platforms, and browsers. The blog series "Testing for Fragmentation" discusses market data on these aspects and how developers can account for them during software development and testing. Different countries have unique fragmentation nuances that need to be considered if a business has a presence in those markets or plans to expand there. For instance, the United States has a strong market share of Apple devices, while India's fragmentation landscape is highly complex due to various brands and models dominating the market. Similarly, Nigeria has unique mobile browser preferences like Opera leading the market. Being aware of these differences and incorporating them into cross-browser test suites can minimize risks associated with global compatibility.
