If you're looking for a service that's live, I've been using <a href="http://crossbrowsertesting.com/" rel="nofollow">http://crossbrowsertesting.com/</a> happily for the last two or three years.<p>Also, if you're testing emails in different clients (worse than IE6 compatibility testing IMHO), I highly recommend <a href="http://litmus.com/" rel="nofollow">http://litmus.com/</a>
By the way, just realized you are based out of India. Great job! Very happy to see a quality web product that is made in India. Who did your design? Love it!
One thing I never quite understood about online testing tools like browserstack and saucelabs is how to reset server state.<p>Most webapps have some kind of datastore. Poking around a web ui will CRUD records in that datastore, possibly corrupting the next test. Another problem with this is coupling between tests, making them hard to modify without breaking a bunch of others.<p>Most automated test setups I have seen run on a local machine, and all server state is reset between each test.<p>How is this done on browserstack/saucelabs?
It's funny, the only use I see for this is IE testing, since everything else I can install the latest version of on my Mac, and the differences between versions are pretty small (and if you can support IE's lack of HTML5 functionality you can certainly do the same for FF3).<p>Still, solid UI and product, and will be handy for the quick IE spot-checks that I should be doing more of :).
<a href="http://crossbrowsertesting.com/" rel="nofollow">http://crossbrowsertesting.com/</a> is an alternative that has proven very good and cost effective for me.<p>This does appear to be cheaper though. The local testing thing may be cool. Not sure how that will work.
Might be OT, but does anyone know of a similar service for MOBILE browsers?<p>Obviously Android and iOS are webkit based... but what about the horror that is BlackBerry rendering? <shudder>
I thought this was going to be another cross-browsing testing thing that wouldn't work for me, but the local access is a really good idea. It really does change everything.
My invite request got approved right after the request, but the service isn't working for me :(<p>All I get is "Oops! We have run into a small problem. Please try again." over and over again.<p>Overloaded?
I would add a per-test pricing plan, which is useful when you need to do just a few tests while developing, rather than forking $19/month.<p>99c to test in 5 different browser/OS combinations would be cool.
