Adobe Shuts Down Browser Testing Service BrowserLab

Posted by timothy on from the buy-laptops-and-racks dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Adobe has shut down its BrowserLab service, used by many for testing content across multiple desktop platforms. The company pointed its customers to two alternatives: BrowserStack and Sauce Labs. BrowserLab offered cross-browser testing by producing screenshots of websites from various browsers across Windows and OS X platforms. It was very useful for developers looking to support as many different users as possible."

  1. Singular vs. plural by tepples · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's possible for a developer to own a computer, singular, but not computers, plural. In order to test on all browsers, one needs a Mac in addition to what already owns, and one needs copies of Windows with each version of Internet Explorer, because Microsoft isn't good at allowing IE versions to sit side-by-side.
