reproducible results – boolean vs. milliseconds
extensible framework – easy to add new tests
historical trends – uncover regressions
zero operating costs
results are crowdsourced!
crowdsourcing Users running the tests is key for Browserscope's longevity, accuracy, and currency.
no dedicated test resources – project runs in perpetuity
wide variety of real world test conditions
aggregating results reduces biases
new browsers show up immediately
