Cross Browser Testing

You can use some of the links below to preview your web site in multiple browsers/os online:
Browsershots.org >>> (free)
Browsercam.com >>> (non-free)
Litmusapp.com >>> (non-free)
Crossbrowsertesting.com >>> (non-free)
The free service offered by some of those web site is sometime really slow and we don’t guarantee you it is 100% accurate.

You can use Emulation or Virtualization to run multiple browser/os versions on your MAC or your PC:
For PC Users:
> WMware >>>
> Virtual PC >>>
> All IE Versions VPC Image >>>
For MAC Intel Users:
> Parallels desktop >>>
> WMware Fusion >>>
Older Browser and Applications downloads >>>

The goal of testing is to get as close as possible to the final user experience. From our experience browser emulation is not always 100% accurate and in some cases you might miss some bugs by not using a real browser and a clean install.
