Compatibility Testing while Traveling

August 24, 2005 9:57 AM

I need to preview websites in various browsers on various platforms, all from Windows machines - while on the road. If I remember correctly, there's an online service that does this preview for you. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Is it AnyBrowser.com?

I'm not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for, but it might help.

There's also the excellent BrowserCam - not cheap but it's possible to get a group subscription and split the cost between 15 or so users.

Also, you can download all sorts of old browsers from Evolt.org.

There's also the up and coming browsershots.org, which is free, but not quite done yet (if I recall correctly -- I haven't retested it yet).

holy crap the queue at browsershots.org is up to eleven days.

that might not work out for you.

I use browsercam, and it is a really great service. The remote access feature has greatly streamlined my workflow when developing new sites.
