BrowserShots – Web Design QA Automated
Posted in web 2.0 on September 13th, 2007 by Matthew – 1 CommentI recently discovered BrowserShots.org and it has improved the quality of life of QA Engineers at Embarc greatly. Simply put:
Browsershots makes screenshots of your web design in different browsers. It is a free open-source online service created by Johann C. Rocholl. When you submit your web address, it will be added to the job queue. A number of distributed computers will open your website in their browser. Then they will make screenshots and upload them to the central server here.
Working at an Interactive Agency as long as I have, I’ve seen how the Quality Assurance team has been required to maintain a small farm of desktop machines running all the most common browser versions. Switching from machine to machine to validate a properly formatted web page takes time. Trust me. This free service has automated a very manual process. Thanks Johann!
