Internet Explorer ( 6, 7 & 8 )

Select script

First select the script you want to test from the list available in your project.

You can of course upload another one if you need one, directly from Selenium IDE.

Enter details of test

You can enter a name for the test, along with relevant notes such as which server it was run against, which release from SVN or CVS etc.

Select browsers

Next you need to select which browsers you want it run on.

If you have an Enterprise subscription, you will be able to choose from your own Private agents, otherwise you will be offered the currently available Public agents.

You can now schedule the test to be run. It will be run on our Cloud Testing agents – you don’t need to do anything more for now – you can check on the progress by looking at the Pending Runs tab.

Viewing the results

Once the tests have completed, you can view the overview of each of the script runs.

You can then choose to either view one step in all browsers (by clicking on the ‘Compare these Test Runs’ magnifier icon).

Alternatively you can choose to view a complete run in a single browser – in this case Google Chrome.

You can then either view the HTML, Components or a full size screenshot of the browser window (compared to the thumbnail).

Test results, screenshots, HTML and components will be stored in line with the package you purchased. Additional storage can always be added when required.

Update – 9th October 2009 – New Cross Browser compare thumbnails view

It is a technology that can be used by developers to create applications (known as Opera Unite services) which allows people to link their personal computers together.

It has been released with a number of sample services to demonstrate the technology, such as a “messenger” application and a media player. It operates wherever Opera currently does – Windows, Mac, Linux, and later mobile phones and other devices, and means no more software is needed.

Screenshots of Unite in action.

Full details can be seen at the posting on the Opera Labs site.

Features listed are:

• Opera Turbo – a compression technology that provides significant improvements in browsing speeds in limited bandwidth environments, such as via your phone on a busy Wi-Fi hotspot.
• Enhanced tabs and sleek design
• Customisable Speed Dial
• Web Integration – choose to set your favourite webmail as your default browser.
• Resizable search field
• 40% faster engine
• Cutting edge Web standards support.
• Inline spell checker
• Improved web developer tools (Dragonfly)

All of this will no doubt give the others a run for their money, which can only mean a better experience and choice for end users.
