Hi all, I'm working on improving the site testing procedures here at work. I'm trying to gauge the need to test browsers on the different Windows (and other) OS's. I'm using the standalone IE's under Windows XP and I'm wondering if the IE5.5 standalone is behaving exactly the same as an integrated IE5.5 installation on Windows 2000, ME or 98(SE)? E.g. Are there any HTML, Javascript or CSS bugs that are present in IE5.5 Win2k, but not IE5.5 WinXP? Same question for Netscape, Mozilla and other browsers. Are they mostly identical across the various OS's they support?
Evolt.org's testing chart only includes Windows, not the individual versions (http://evolt.org/article/Browser_testing_list/20/548/index.html looks rather old). Nor does it talk about different versions of MacOS. Do WSG members consider this sufficient testing strategy? I understand this is probably going to be very different from one organisation to another but there has to be a baseline at least! I'm keen to hear some opinions and get some good resources on this to hopefully get an idea of how far I need to take our testing strategy. Thanks in advance, Miles. ***************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help *****************************************************
