Adobe BrowserLab – Cross-Browser Compatibility Testing Tool

by Jon Crim

As any web developer knows testing for cross-browser compatibility can be a time consuming process. To help ease this process Adobe has been developing BrowserLab intended to help simplify and speed up the process of testing for compatibility. Here’s Adobe’s description of their hosted solution BrowserLab:

BrowserLab is an online service that allows web professionals to test their websites on popular browsers and operating systems. Screenshots of actual browser renderings are generated in real time, with multiple viewing options to help pinpoint issues. Note Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 software users have access to additional functionality such as testing local and active content.

BrowserLab runs in any Flash 10-enabled browser, which is great because for most there will be nothing to install. Currently they are running a “limited free preview,” although they state that it will eventually be released as a paid for subscription service. Watch Scott Fegette’s (Technical Product Manager for Dreamweaver) video introducing BrowserLab below or head on over to Adobe Labs and check it out for yourself.

  1. I am in the process of starting my own company (private limited by shares)and was wondering if it made any difference to pay for the website from my Business bank account, or from my personnal bank account ?.
