Browsercam.com is one of the hidden gems on the internet and an engeniuos idea. If you already use it you’ll know what i mean - if you don’t use it then after reading this you probably will.
So what is it? Basically it’s a pile of PCs and MACs to which you can either submit the URLs of your websites or VNC (remote control) into to test your sites behaviour against a whole range of browsers and OSs’. If you go for the first option BrowserCam goes off and takes screen shots of your specified URL in the selected browsers/OSs’ which are then available individually, as a ZIP file or as a PSD file.
There’s a free trial which lets you take 200 screen shots in a 24 hr period, but even so a single days access to their services is $19.99 upto an annual plan (for 25 users!!!) for $479.40 which is still pretty reasonable considering what you get! It’s well worth checking out if you don’t want loads of PCs/Macs in your office just to QA against!
