Description

[edited]

The idea is to find and configure a service for running tests in multiple browsers to monitor browser support automatically.

The trick is, we need the server side for the tests running in the same origin.

See how npm test does it now.

Research direction
First, inspect the repository's test configuration in package.json and the test scripts to understand the current test runner and how the server is started. Then, research browser testing services like Sauce Labs or BrowserStack that allow same origin testing. Review the existing issue comments for any specific constraints or preferences mentioned by maintainers or contributors.
