Xenocode Browser Sandbox – Test for cross browser compatibility
Once you learn markup, backend coding, some SQL… the biggest pain in the butt as a web developer is when a client calls and says “hey this doesn’t look right” when in fact it looks just fine on your machine. Turns out they have IE6 (why… WHY would they not upgrade… but they are the client… so we fix it to work with IE6). Enter Xenocode.
The Xenocode Browser Sandbox is a game-changer for browser testing on Windows-based machines. With a single click of your mouse you can have an open and working browser without any installation. You can test in various IE versions, Firefox, Google Chrome, and even Safari. And really test, too, not just screenshots.
