Re: [WSG] Browser test suite

RE: [WSG] Browser test suite
I have used browsercam back when there was a free account for evolt members, but that has since been removed. Browser cam is a great service and provides 90% of the solution, but there are a few reasons why its not viable: cannot test sites without external access, can't test javascript interaction, time consuming test-change-regress process, can't interact with login process, and i could think of a few more reasons beyond that... I'm not taking anything away from it, I just don't think it fully caters for web application testing.

[WSG] Browser test suite
What kind of setup do ppl here use for browser testing? I'm setting up a PC with Virtual PC and multiple OS's, but I'm wondering things like: how many installs of each OS needed to test various version of IE for example, does IE6 on Win2k have different issues to IE6 on any other Win OS (XP,ME,98) Is there any way to have multiple IE version on the same OS? Each OS install will incur another licence fee, so I'm trying to keep things cheap! If there is a better way to do it I'm open to suggestions...
