Browserling

Creating a nice looking webpage is hard enough, but the amount of browsers on the market means that there's an added complication that your beautiful code isn't going to properly translate to all of your users. If you want to make sure that your website displays properly across all devices and internet browsers, browserling provides an effective solution. You can test a wide selection of browsers in multiple environments without having to manually install them yourself. A screenshot can give you an impression of how your website might look on another machine, but it hardly gives you the full picture. With the complexity that CSS, HTML, and JavaScript offer, there's plenty that could go wrong. Browserling ensures that developers will never have to guess what their site looks like by going the extra mile. Instead of using emulators, they run actual instances of browsers on virtual machines. This means that you can be sure that the results match your intentions, and it allows you to go in manually and test out your site's functions in real time. Browserling's objectives are straight and to the point, and the user interface is designed to match. One you navigate to the website you want to test, the browserling landing page pops up to ask you the relevant information. Pulldown windows allow you to choose the OS and browser you want to test as well as the version of the latter. Since older versions of browsers can bring about major compatibility issues, this can be a great way to fully test the functionality of your site. As soon as these options are selected, browserling will automatically boot up the OS and browser in question on a virtual machine and create an instance on your computer in which you can explore. You can navigate anywhere on your site, test all the functions, and make sure everything runs as smoothly as it should. Browsing runs in browserling's secure infrastructure, so you'll never have to worry about getting exposed to trojans or other viruses while you're testing out your site's usability. Once the site has been loaded, users have a number of functions they can use to undergo further stress testing. The tools widget lets you open up SSH tunnels and change the resolution. The latter gives you a wide range of options for all of the popular aspect ratios. You can also take screenshots so you can closer analyze the results. One of the coolest aspects of browserling's design is its bug hunter, which allows you to tag issues with sites and send them as bug reports with a simple click of your mouse. There are a couple of nice ease of use features as well. Extensions are available for all major browsers and allow you to pull up test instances just by clicking on them, and bookmarks allow you to save your preferred browser settings.
