The testing platform determines a number of a plurality of browsers that are to be used to test the code and generates a number of a plurality of virtual machines to host the plurality of browsers, where the number of the plurality of virtual machines is based on the number of the plurality of browsers. The testing platform assigns an automation script to each virtual machine of the virtual machines to test the code, and monitors execution of the automation script by each virtual machine of the plurality of virtual machines. The testing platform performs an action associated with the execution of the automation script by each virtual machine of the plurality of virtual machines. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method, comprising: receiving, by a device, a segment of software code associated with an application, where the segment of software code is to be tested using a browser of a plurality of browsers on one or more virtual machines of a plurality of virtual machines, a quantity of the plurality of virtual machines corresponding to a quantity of the plurality of browsers;

assign the second automation script to each virtual machine of a second set of the plurality of virtual machines to test the segment of software code; monitor execution of the second automation script within each browser running on each of the second set of the plurality of virtual machines; and perform an action associated with the execution of the first automation script and second automation script by each virtual machine of the plurality of virtual machines. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, where the segment of software code includes at least one of: an update to the application, a feature of the application, software to implement the application, or an application programming interface (API) associated with the application. ### Claim 8 A device, comprising: one or more memories; and one or more processors, communicatively coupled to the one or more memories, to: receive a segment of software code associated with an application, where the segment of software code is to be tested using a browser of a plurality of browsers on one or more virtual machines of a plurality of virtual machines; determine a characteristic of the application, a particular quantity of the plurality of browsers being based on the characteristic of the application; select an automation script to test the segment of software code based on the characteristic of the application; assign the automation script to one or more virtual machines of the plurality of virtual machines to test the segment of software code, transmit the automation script to the one or more virtual machines of the plurality of virtual machines to test the segment of software code;
