Our new api allows you to automatically trigger screenshots to run when needed. For example, lets say you have a script that pushes pages into production each night. You can modify that script to automatically tell CrossBrowserTesting.com to take screenshots of that page. You can then mail the screenshots of the updated page to your QC department when the test completes so they will be able to verify the layout.

You can view the cross browser testing api documentation.

Some details:
- We are using basic authentication to authenticate access to the api

Several customers have asked us to add the capability to download all the photos from an automated screenshot test all at once. We have added a zip download link to the bottom right of the view results screen which allows you to do this. Both the windowed and the full page screenshots are included in this file, and they are named so you can tell which operating system, browser, and resolution each screenshot was taken on.
Thanks!

We've had several customers ask about extending the 30 minute time limit on live tests. OK, done. The new limit is now an hour. Anything else? Seriously, we listen and encourage you to give us suggestions to improve our service. If you have one, let us know.

We changed (a lot).

First, we are releasing into beta our new automated screenshot service! Secondly, we have a new look (with a shiny new logo!).

The whole site is now being driven by Drupal. We did that so we would be able to add content quickly and easily. We also added forums. We want the forums to be become useful for the community of web developers that use our site. We hope that the forums will become a place where web developers can talk either about their work or problems they are having doing cross browser testing.

Pricing models are tough. Unfortunately, we are programmers / engineers, not marketing people (Mike has a marketing degree but we do not let him do any of that).

When we started we did not have a clue about how many people were even going to use the service. Also, we thought the inconvenience of only having a 5 minute session for free, plus having to wait in line, would be enough 'encouragement' for professionals to opt for the premium service.

Boy were we wrong.
