It’s a great platform for cross browser testing and web application compatibility testing. Browserling supports more than 200 browsers across more than dozen different operating systems, Windows and Android. Support for iOS and Linux is coming soon.
What I really like about Browserling is that it uses real devices to run on the browsers and it’s just take few click to start testing. Simply go to www.browserling.com, enter your website’s address, then choose browser/platform and click the “Test Now” button. To minimize the number of steps that it takes to start testing you can even install Browserling’s browser extensions and setup bookmarks of browsers via Browserling’s bookmarklets.
The features include quick screenshots, bug hunter for annotating screenshots and quickly pinpointing and reporting bugs, local testing via secure SSH tunnels, and responsive testing, including resolution changing of the device. All browsers run in a secure and private environment and connections to browsers are encrypted using HTTPS protocol.
Browserling’s team has also created world’s largest collection of web developer and programmer tools. Their programming team often often needed to perform various common programming tasks and operations. To do that they’d often Google things like “url escape”, “convert json to xml”, “prettify javascript”, “convert csv to json”, and so on. Unfortunately current online tools found contain a ton of ads, malware and popups, which makes these tools unpleasant to use. So Browserling decided to create their own programming tools. No ads, nonsense or garbage. Just tools. Press button, get result. Their tool collection has now grown to over 100 tools.
I highly recommend it. They’re a serious company with over 18,000 users, including huge companies and government organizations such as IBM, NHS, UK’s National Health Service. Give it a try and also check out their weekly webcomic!
