TL;DR: Binary Search for browser versions
- Take all the records from all the providers. For each record, and for each browser, find the 'middle' the versions of a single browser. Add that version, the name of the browser's name, and the protoChainId (ex.
'Array.prototype.push') to a temporary list. - Find the versions the browser versions that saucelabs needs to instantiate. In the previously created list, filter duplicate browser names and versions job queue.
- Send those browser names and versions to saucelabs and run the compatibility tests.
- If middle is not supported, mark all older versions and not supported. If middle is supported, mark all newer versions as supported. Remove the job from the job queue.
- Find the 'middle' of the versions whose compatibility has not been determined yet. Add that middle version, the browser name, and
'protoChainId'to the job queue. - Recurse until there are no jobs on the job queue.
