Case Study: America’s Test Kitchen achieves scalable automated testing and real-device browser coverage with CrossBrowserTesting

How CrossBrowserTesting Helped America’s Test Kitchen Move From Manual to Automated Testing

America’s Test Kitchen, publisher of Cook’s Illustrated and Cook’s Country with multiple subscription websites and growing digital content, faced a QA bottleneck as frequent deployments and limited testing resources made manual testing slow, subjective, and hard to scale. QA Manager Megan Collins needed a way to expand coverage, use real devices to catch device-specific bugs, and move from ad-hoc manual checks to repeatable automated tests — goals they pursued using CrossBrowserTesting alongside Selenium.

CrossBrowserTesting provided integration with Selenium plus a real-device lab of over 1,500 desktop and mobile browsers, live and visual testing, screenshot automation, video capture, and result-tagging, enabling nightly automated regression runs and clearer pass/fail reporting. As a result of adopting CrossBrowserTesting, America’s Test Kitchen built reusable automated tests, reduced time spent analyzing subjective results, improved collaboration across teams, increased test coverage, and grew the QA team from a solo tester to three members while scaling testing to support faster, more reliable releases.
