Do all of your IE5.5 to IE8 testing in a single browser! I've tested it on a couple of pages that I'm working on and all of the expected errors occurred. http://www.my-debugbar.com/wiki/IETester/HomePage Data Execution Prevention was triggered in Vista Home Premium... I scanned the executable with AVG before the install (because it sounded too good to be true) and it came out clean. I'm willing to live with a few memory bugs, if that's the price for convenience. I did a quick search for this topic in the forum, but I didn't see any related posts. Sorry, if this is old news.
IE tester is a great quick way to test IE6, IE7 and IE8, browsershots takes like 20 odd minutes to produce results why use that?!
Just installed this and its free of virusus. I must say, its a pretty awesome tool I would also reccomend http://spoon.net/Browsers That allows you to run the actual program right from your browser!
it is one of great tools for web developers. but It has some bugs, specially in old version of IE (for example some times it has problem with some png images while the original IE doesn't)
I've known about this for well over a year. Yes, it's clean, yes, it works, and yes it even tests your JavaScript for you (natively in each browser instance, since each IE version has its own JScript version). Can't say that about Multiple_IE or the Evolt browsers (though I still keep Multiple_IE around since IETester doesn't seem to handle expressions that well -- read: at all). Oh, and the latest version has threaded processes, so when one IETester browser version crashes, you don't lose the entire program (seems to happen all the time on IE7 and IE8 on my laptop; IE 5.5 and IE6 appear to be immune).
I love IETester too, and with the new multiprocess mode it doesn't crash at all. It doesn't support flash though, but works faster than e.g. Browsershots.org for me.
