The Litmus Test

by Bill Horsman

I've just subscribed to a Litmus account and I'm blown away by how useful it is. I run a test and it loads my web page in 23 different browser/operating system combinations and gives me a screenshot of what the page looks like. The site is really well put together with just the right sprinkling of Ajax to make it smooth and easy.

The only downside is the length of time it takes to tweak, deploy and retest. It's quick (a couple of minutes), but nothing beats the tweak-save-reload cycle with a local browser.
