Cross-Browser Testing Tool Will Rock Your Socks Off

Re: Cross-Browser Testing Tool Will Rock Your Socks Off
#12One thing I never quite understood about online testing tools like browserstack and saucelabs is how to reset server state. Most webapps have some kind of datastore. Poking around a web ui will CRUD records in that datastore, possibly corrupting the next test. Another problem with this is coupling between tests, making them hard to modify without breaking a bunch of others. Most automated test setups I have seen run…
I think they just delete the user profile which is where browsers usually save their data.
(not 100% sure about that, but I think Selenium mentioned that in the logging output)

#13I think it's too pricey. But maybe it's just me.

By datastore I meant server side database (SQL/NoSQL)

The way you'd usually do it is either having a multi-user application and just create a new user for a new test (also helps testing concurrently) or you'll have to reset the app by:
- redeploying it on a new e.g. EC2 instance
- clearing out the database and inserting your original blank state from an SQL dump
- clearing out the filesystem by e.g. using a git reset
p.s. you should try to have an automated deployment for your product. That way you could also just spin up a new EC2 instance -> deploy -> test -> kill instance

#16Is it like http://browserling.com ? Can it handle httpauth?
yes it can. you can even test your local setup (both local servers and local html files)

we are trying to keep our prices as low as possible. We want to reach every developer/designer!

Thats entirely a different problem, as of now we are completely focused in providing browsers across OSes and Mobile platforms with a very easy to use UI!
Re: Cross-Browser Testing Tool Will Rock Your Socks Off
#20I would add a per-test pricing plan, which is useful when you need to do just a few tests while developing, rather than forking $19/month. 99c to test in 5 different browser/OS combinations would be cool.
For you we already have reasonable prepaid plans!
