Not sure I understand the question. When you start from a CSS reset 
(which creates a bare-bones look), you more or less test in one browser 
and know how the website looks in others. Modulo engine bugs, of course.

Otherwise, to make the website look identical across browser, you have 
to make sure to enumerate all disparities in your own styles.
