http://www.browsera.com<p>I'd like to get some feedback on my automated web testing service startup, Browsera.<p>The service automatically detects major cross-browser rendering differences as well as scripting errors, and also provides screenshots. A significant difference from Browsershots/Litmus/BrowserLab/Superpreview is that it actually analyzes live DOMs and reports differences. And, its got features that allow it to crawl your site and even test pages behind login walls.<p>If you're a web developer or tester, please give it a try and let me know what you think.
Technical side - neat, very neat. I like it a lot.<p>Business side - the recurrent pricing model does not make any sense whatsoever. Unless someone is actively developing the site or <i>manually</i> changes the content on a daily basis, per-use charges is what is expected.<p>There is certainly a market for enterprise-ish application of your idea, when the site is routinely modified several times a week by marketing and product people and such. But then your Basic plan basically will easily cover the needs of a small/middle size corporation with extensive online presence. Additionally, beware of the existing services like Keynote that already target that segment and that will be copying your idea in a matter of weeks.
This is very useful, good work.<p>I suggest a change in the pricing model to adjust to the most likely use from customers (many would like just a one-shot), something like:<p>- "Test" (one time): $29<p>- "Project" (one month): $199<p>- "Enterprise" (one year): $890<p>("Enterprise" can be dropped).<p>All of them can have say, 1000 pages or pages/month and 5 or whatever users, and then there can be a small additional extra per 1000 more pages or 5 more users.
I mean, wow - I'm totally impressed and will probably become a paying customer. If the free version works out to be as impressive as the sample, I'm sold!
This seems like a very useful service. I think that you may be losing quite a lot of business by jumping from free to $49 directly.<p>There is probably a sweet spot at around $19 for say 250 pages and login support that would attract a lot of hobbyists/developers who work on one web app or a couple of sites and wouldn't pay $49 a month for something like this.<p>Perhaps you should try it out.
