A tool whose own documentation describes compatibility tests: the same flow across browsers, OS versions and device classes.

Which Compatibility tests tools are open source?

What is the difference between synthetic monitoring and end-to-end testing?

Synthetic monitoring runs scripted checks against production on a schedule (post-deploy); end-to-end tests run user flows against a deployed environment (pre-deploy, post-deploy). Synthetic monitoring cannot catch faults behind authentication the script does not reach.

How does a tool get into the catalogue?

A tool enters the catalogue when its own documentation names at least one of the 12 test classes, a pricing page or licence file exists, it has a dated release within 18 months, and every listed fact has a source URL with a verification date.

Why is a tool missing from the catalogue?

A tool is withheld when a gate fails: no documentation page names a test class, no pricing page or licence file, or no dated release within 18 months. 14 tool routes are withheld.
