IAD: Web Application tools: presentation

Browser Shots
For my web application tool presentation, I spoke about browser shots, which is an application tool that allows you to enter a domain and the application will then send of the domain to many virtual computers and return screen shots for the domain in many different browser, and operating systems.

There are some limitations to this application as it isnt instant, and can take some time to return results. It also doesnt allow you to look at the browser interaction and how that varies in different browsers.

However in general this is a very good tool as you can see quickly how your site will look on many different browsers, including whether flash is enabled, java enabled etc.
Browser shots also looks at the file size of the page and the dimensions which can also be very useful.
