Browser Compatibility Testing

Yes there are many. Here are few examples:



1. Adobe BrowserLab [Provide screen shots]:

URL: https://browserlab.adobe.com/



Adobe BrowserLab is an online hosted service that lets you test the pages of your web site across a variety of web browsers and operating systems. The service works by taking screen shots of your web pages in different browsers, and then displaying them in the BrowserLab application window.



You can use BrowserLab as a standalone service, or integrated with Dreamweaver CS4. The standalone service lets you test pages that you've posted to a server within the context of a web browser. If you use BrowserLab as an integrated service with Dreamweaver, you can test your pages from within Dreamweaver without publishing your pages to a server.



BrowserLab supports the following browsers:



• Firefox 2.0 - Windows XP

• Firefox 3.0 - Windows XP

• Firefox 3.5 - Windows XP

• Chrome 3.0 - Windows XP

• Internet Explorer 6.0 - Windows XP

• Internet Explorer 7.0 - Windows XP

• Internet Explorer 8.0 - Windows XP

• Safari 3.0 - Macintosh OS X

• Safari 4.0 - Macintosh OS X

• Firefox 2.0 - Macintosh OS X

• Firefox 3.0 - Macintosh OS X

• Firefox 3.5 - Macintosh OS X

2. Browser Sandbox [Run any browser from the web]

• Firefox 3

• Firefox 2

• Apple Safari 4

• Google Chrome

• Opera 10

My Comments as a Tester:

a. Adobe BrowserLab will be helpful to compare the designs of multiple Browsers.

b. Browser Sandbox will be helpful to test the functionality and design on multiple Browsers.



Thanks,

Rajiv

HI ALL,

In the effort to make your site look more credible, trustable and
"professional", you may have been asking yourself what's the best way
to do such browser compatibility testing analysis, beyond installing
multiple browsers, having multiple PCs and Macs and joggling your
monitor screen settings hundreds of times.

And, indeed, there is a better way: browser compatibility testing
tools are a set of tools and web-based services that you can leverage
to test, check and verify how any web page of your web site is going
to look when viewed on a different computer / browser / operating
system / screen resolution.

Browser compatibility testing tools generally work all in the same
way. You need to provide the URL of the web page you want to check and
then select the operating systems, web browsers, and the specific
screen resolutions you want to test your page on.

Your selected browser compatibility testing tool will generate a
screenshot of that very page from a virtual computer set up according
to your specified settings (operating system, web browser type and
version, etc.). In this way, you can immediately evaluate what are the
key layout issues to be addressed.

Here below is a comparative table and a set of individual mini reviews
to help you evaluate all of these browser compatibility testing
services. Here the selection criteria
