Análise manual de inconsistências visuais entre navegadores

Abstract

Web applications are known to be able to run in a wide variety of environments. Amidst these possibilities of use, by the user, of different ecosystems for the execution of a web application (involving different operating systems, platforms, browsers, among other aspects), visual or functional incompatibilities of the same application between different browsers may arise. In this work, a manual analysis of visual inconsistencies detected in 417 elements from different sites was performed. Data from these elements were extracted by a tool that is part of the current state of the art in detecting layout inconsistencies. For the classification, a standard of labels was created and some possible causes of inconsistencies were raised. It also presents some requirements for improving the inconsistency classification tool and possibilities for future work.
