Someone has already done written this, right? I google. When I saw how clear it was, I immediately started writing a Visual Studio plugin - like within 5 minutes - then stopped after a half hour. Integrating BrowserStack with Visual Studio 2012Įven better, I noticed that BrowserStack has nice hackable URLs like this:
Well, IE6 doesn't get better, but this story does. Here you can see how hideous my site is in IE6 on Windows XP running within BrowserStack. It's totally seamless and really cool to see. You can pick your OS, browser version and screen resolution, then effectively VNC (Remote) into them with their Flash plugin. Even cooler, they launched a partnership with to give us all a three month free trial to their hosted browser virtualization service.īrowserStack has a cloud of virtual machines with every browser imaginable. Today the IE team announced new site at to make cross-browser testing easier. There's been some Virtual Machines up on the Microsoft Download Center but it's tedious to dig around and get the one you need. Later the iPhone/iPad local simulator from Electric Plum added tight integration with Visual Studio so you can test locally.īut still, it's too hard.I worked with Jorge on our team and we delivered a the browser switcher dropdown directly integrated in VS2012.My buddy Kzu and friends saw this script, realized it sucked and made things better on VS2012 with their Default Browser Switcher addon.In 2010, I used PowerShell and hacked together a browser switcher script in VS2010.I do a lot of cross-browser testing and I've been on a personal mission to make "Browse With." and multiple browser debugging suck less in Visual Studio.
Head over to for a bunch of tools for making cross browser sites easier, including on online site analyzer and downloadable Virtual Machines for any Virtual Platform.SIDE NOTE: When the VS2012.2 Update is finalized, you'll need to install just it and you'll get the ASP.NET Web Tools as well.There's other browsers to download as well, like the Electric Plum iPhone/iPad simulator. Click the dropdown next to your Debug Button, the click on "More Emulators" to go to and get the BrowserStack Visual Studio extension and three months free service.
