In any business, the relationship between clients and the service provider is subjected to the stress of disputes often. Businesses that deliver true value to their clients over a sustained period of time have mechanisms to resolve these disputes. Often they rely on certain thumb rules also. One such thumb rule is the adage 'Customer is the king.' At Zyxware, we believe that it is a thumb rule that can, in contexts of disputes, lead to sub-optimal results for the relationship and the parties involved from the point of view of effectiveness and more importantly fairness.

Browser compatibility testing or ensuring the working of a site on different browsers is an important part of website testing. Same site may not look similar when viewed on different browsers. For example: The same page may vary depending on different display resolution. Therefore all the functionalities, design of the site must be tested on common browsers rather than fixing and testing on a single browser. Sometimes, changes made on a site does not reflect at once unless we clear browser cache. In that case testers need to clear cache prior to testing.
