Is there standalone website testing software in different browsers?

I am looking for standalone software that can speed up website testing in different browsers.

Yes, I can install Opera, Firefox, Chrome, IE and Safari and test in each of them, but this slows down the process because the website I work on has a lot of changes and every change should be checked in all browsers .

In particular, I'm looking for something similar to IETester , but for different browsers. I'm not interested in online services (there are many), but offline.

So does anyone know something like this?

I found the Selenium tool [ http://seleniumhq.org/ ] very useful for such needs:

  • There are drivers for almost all modern and not very modern browsers: firefox, IE, Opera, Chrome, Safari ..
  • scales pretty well through webdriver (remote control of test execution on different computers) and
  • well known: there are many resources available for development and deployment.

The main drawback, as for my own experience: the learning curve is somewhat stiff.

There is also a good test management tool specifically designed for Selenium: Bromine (disclaimer: I haven't used Bromine yet, but have seen great comments on it).

Adobe BrowserLab for desktop browsers (free) As noted in the comments, this has been discontinued. But they recommend Sauce Labs and the Browser Stack .

Adobe Edge Inspect aka Shadow is also available and does all of the above quite well. This is primarily for testing and debugging mobile browsers.

Microsoft Expression Suite also has its own Cross-Browser Testing utility, called Express Web Superview .

In the words of Microsoft

You can view browser views side by side horizontally or vertically, or overlay them to identify differences. You can use rulers and guides to measure and highlight visual problems. You can scale and delete pages and view all browser updates in tandem.

You can try BrowseEmAll ( http://www.browseemall.com ), which is a desktop application for Windows (and, unfortunately, online).

However, it contains all the major browsers and simulators for iOS and Android, which should make testing easier than manually switching between different browsers.

If you like groovy, try Spock. I experimented with Spock and Gem for BDD tests.
