All of the examples you give are functionality, not how the thing actually looks when it renders on the screen.

Is there some way to write a test that determines whether my page renders correctly on Firefox, Chrome, Safari, IE 6, IE 7, IE 8, and Opera? If so, please show me the way.

In web development, these sorts of things end up being a large percentage of bugs filed in FogBugz, and there's no way to test for them but to have someone look at the page and make sure.



We had manual test case for "page looks correct" test. It consists of more than 10 checks, i.e. "no JavaScript errors", "no miss-spelled words", "consistent look across pages", "no broken links", etc.

More than half of that list is already automated.
