Don’t forget to test on Windows (duh)
by Sky on Oct.31, 2007, under Debris
It’s finally coming around to bite us. For so long I’ve had friends who would help test (maybe I should say “beat up”) my web sites before I’d launch them. And I needed help on Windows, using MS Internet Explorer and other Windows browsers, because I spend 98% of my time on a Macintosh. And recently I’ve noticed that so many of my friends are using Macintosh that actually I sometimes launch a site modification without adequate testing on Windows.
In fact, at a meeting the other day, someone said in all honesty “Is anyone here running Windows? I need to check something.” – there were 40 or so people in the room, and only a couple of them were running Windows.
Time to get Parallels, I guess, and an Intel Mac so I can have Windows running all the time “beside” Mac OSX to do adequate testing. Times are changing.
