BrowserLab Comes in Free Preview for Web Designers
Adobe
Systems today (June 3) unveiled a free preview of Adobe BrowserLab, a
new hosted service. It’ll enable Web designers to view and test their
sites on a wide variety of browsers and operating systems.
Previously code-named Meer Meer, Adobe BrowserLab provides Web
professionals with real-time accurate screenshots of browser renderings.
It includes multiple viewing and diagnostic tools to help designers
pinpoint compatibility issues that can compromise the design and layout
integrity of a Web site or page, says the company.
Key
features of Adobe BrowserLab include support for all modern browsers and
operating systems so that Web designers can see how their Web pages will
appear across multiple browsers and on a variety of platforms.
The
initial set of browsers that are supported include Windows Internet
Explorer 6.x and 7.x; Firefox 2.x and 3.x; and Safari 3.x.
The
capability is enabled by virtualization technology, hosted through a
cloud-based application, which eliminates the need to have browsers
installed on a system before testing a site.
Adobe
BrowserLab lets designers compare and contrast browsers via an interface
that works on any Adobe Flash Player 10 enabled operating system, making
it compatible with Mac and Windows.
While
Adobe BrowserLab can be used by any Web designer it provides Adobe
Dreamweaver CS4 users extended capabilities to also test Flash
technology-based and interactive site elements, including dynamic
widgets, rollover effects, and AJAX driven content.
According to the company, Adobe BrowserLab is available now in English
only as a free preview on a first-come, first-serve basis.
