Infographic: Fragmentation in OS, browsers, and devices

What's this blog post about?

Fragmentation in software development refers to the variety of devices, operating systems, screen sizes, and browsers that can access a single piece of code. This fragmented landscape creates compatibility issues, as the same code may behave differently on different device-browser combinations. To address this problem, testing should be performed on commonly used devices, operating systems, and browsers to ensure cross-browser-device compatibility. Additionally, it is crucial to test responsiveness across various screen resolutions. By combining these recommendations with website traffic data, developers can determine the most suitable set of devices for their users.
