when we develop a web site then we do not know how web site behave in other browser and also in a specific browser with different version. i have seen few web site is there where we can put our web site url and it generate image of our web site. those functionality is not good. so i like to know is there any free tool exist which give me browser like feeling where we can put our web site url and do the interaction with our web site.
i am looking for best free tool to test web site functionality and UI look. share the idea. thanks
One tool i know is Browserstack. It offers free trial for half an hour. If you need more, just register again with new email or support them and buy this product. It also offers you to test local links on different platforms and browsers.
There is also saucelabs that offers free testing for some browsers, but if you want to test local link then you need to buy it.
Also crosbrowsertesting offers free trial. But it only supports mac osx 10.8 and windows 7 in free trial and a bunch of browsers and different versions.
Hope this info helped.
Have you already tried this: https://spoon.net/browsers ?
There are of course more containers than browsers.
If you need that feature in a long term purposes I would consider to setup your own containers e.g with help of Docker (https://www.docker.com/) or with Selenium Grid. If you automate UI tests, Selenium Grid will help you with parallel run and its distributions.
There are lot of tools available on internet but really I do not trust on result which they produce. They are good but not perfect.
If you really want to do pixel precise testing of UI in diff.browsers then do manually testing OR you can make it automate using selenium web driver & TestNG framework. You can also use selenium grid for this purpose.
Kindly refer : Cross browser testing
There is a couple of another sites. Maybe someone will find it helpful.
cloudtesting
browserling
saucelabs
crossbrowsertesting
browsera
https://www.equafy.com also has a free version.
Only MacOs is not available for free, but if it is for open source project this is included
I am affiliated with equafy.com.
Cross browser testing tools have progressed a lot in the past couple of years with some of the tools now offering automated solutions.
We've recently researched the market and put together our list of the top tools which are available today.
If you have any feedback or know of any additional ones which should be added, please do let me know.

I was wondering if we can use selenium for UI testing. Does it support Javascripts on modern browsers? What other open source tools do you recommend?
I have googled a bit but could not get any definitive answer.
Thank you
Selenium is a tool you can use to mimic a user interacting with a web browser. If your UI Testing is browser based, then yes you can use it.
While selenium allows you to execute javascript commands directly, you shouldn't need to do that very often as it just does things you'd expect a user to do: clicking a button, filling out a form, etc...
It's become such a widely used tool, that it's hard to find strong reasons to use anything else, although other options exist. There are other tools that are built on top of Selenium that can help with testing other things.
Testing Web Browsers:
Selenium
Testing apps: Appium
Testing angular: Protractor
Testing Windows apps: Winium
Selenium's WebDriver has started to be implemented by the major browsers directly as Selenium has been influential is pushing that into the w3 standard. This makes it so it's the responsibility of the browsers to update their WebDriver when they release new versions, which has been and will be helpful to maintain stability in selenium tests as browsers update.
In short, yes selenium is for browser based UI Testing.

I am looking for RestAPI automation tool which should be open source tool.
Not getting which tool and framework should go.
Can anyone suggest for me good tool and framework for API automation testing?
It depends on your requirements and your skills.
The most obvious choice would be SoapUI, it normally doesn't require any developer background and has limited load testing capabilities.
Apache JMeter can be also used for API testing, it has Logic Controllers to design the test, Assertions to set pass/fail criteria and if you will need to run tests in multithreaded manner - JMeter is designed for load testing. See Testing SOAP/REST Web Services Using JMeter for more details.
Any programming language / library / framework which can send HTTP requests and has good support of XML or JSON or both. However it assumes some underlying programming language knowledge, besides when it comes to client SSL certificates, protocol-based and other security types it can be a headache. The most popular framework seems to be REST-assured, it's Java-based, if you're not comfortable with Java you can try searching for equivalent for programming language(s) you know better.
You Can go for SOAPUI opensource https://www.soapui.org/
You can create your own framework , using groovy or Java language, can use lot of plugins
Soaupi has lot options , easy learning curve ,and lot of online support , and large userbase.
Soap UI scripts can be maintained easily.
Soapui scripts can run through , JUNIT,TESTNG, ANT, GRADLE, MAVEN and reports can be generated.
For load testing/mini stress on your REST API, its easy ,just right click on existing test case and add to load test .
All the best , Happy Testing

I was seeing about the release of Google Chrome OS, then I have some questions:
Where I can start to develop for it?
In which languages?
Which platform is good to develop?
Is possible to develop inside Chrome OS?
In which languages?
Is there any repository to share and download Chrome applications?
A good start would to be understand what Chrome OS is.
Where I can start to develop for it?
Chrome OS is a bucket for the chrome browser. Just build a webapp and it will work
In which languages?
HTML5, CSS3, Javascript
Which platform is good to develop?
Webapps are entirely interpreted
Is it possible to develop inside Chrome OS?
You may be interested in the Bespin project from Mozilla Labs. They aim to provide an IDE (written within a HTML5 Canvas object) to edit websites on the fly, and in the cloud.
You may try to learn how to write extensions for Chrome.
At this moment, they are not available at the current release, but they WILL be on the next one and you may bet they'll be available in some way on Chrome OS.

can any one sugest me which is the best but free web tracking tool ?
I want to know the statics, traffics, hits and area of hits etc...
Google Analytics is an obvious suggestion. However, if you prefer to host your own solution (because you don't want to send private data to Google for example), then have a look at Open Web Analytics, a very impressive alternative (see the features list).
Open Web Analytics (OWA) is an open source web analytics framework written in PHP. OWA was born out of the need for an open source framework that could be used to easily add web analytics features to web sites and applications. The OWA framework also comes with built-in support for popular web applications such as Wordpress and MediaWiki. As a generic web analytics framework, OWA can be extended to track and analyze any web application.
(source: openwebanalytics.com)
Another very decent alternative is Piwik:
Piwik is a downloadable, open source
(GPL licensed) web analytics software
program. It provides you with detailed
real time reports on your website
visitors: the search engines and
keywords they used, the language they
speak, your popular pages… and so much
more.
Piwik aims to be an open source
alternative to Google Analytics.
Piwik is a PHP MySQL software program
that you download and install on your
own webserver. At the end of the five
minute installation process you will
be given a JavaScript tag. Simply copy
and paste this tag on websites you
wish to track (or use an existing
plugin to do it automatically for
you).
(source: piwik.org)
Personally, I prefer OWA over Piwik and don't have anything negative to say about it.
Google Analytics has got all the features you specify.
You need a Google account but you don't have to sign up for their advertising programme. If you are already enrolled, Analytics is hooked into other Google products so you can get reports on Ad Sense hits, etc.

We want to provide Help for a client/server system. In the current version of the system this is done client side with traditional HTML Help (i.e. lots of .chm files sitting on each client machine). For a variety of reasons (e.g. to allow quick/easy updates to the Help) we want to move the Help content (i.e. the actual topic files) onto a server.
The client-side desktop app that the Help relates to already connects to a server, so it seems like we should be able to have a client-side help viewer doing a similar thing - i.e. pulling it's topic files off a server.
However, we don't want to reinvent the wheel and code something if there's already something out there that does this.
The obvious solution would be to use WebHelp, but there's some resistance to requiring our customers to run a Web server. And hosting ourselves, or via a 3rd party, is not an option.
So does anyone know of a way of providing Help where the content resides on the server?
What sort of server are you running? Is there any reason you couldn't host a web server within your server product, potentially on a "normally unused" port? You don't need to ask the customer to install and manage a web server if you bundle it yourself.
What platform is this on, btw?
EDIT: As suggested by David in the comments, there's a related question about a embedding lightweight web server.
You should be able to do this without too much trouble.
I built a CHM-to-Web converter that slurps in a CHM and spits out a web site.
This is an example website produced from the converter tool.
The CHM creation takes a loooooong time, through Sandcastle Helpfile Builder, but the transformation from CHM to web happens in about 6 seconds. It is totally automated.
You could take this magic and tweak it to fit your rich client app. The client could query the server for an index or topic list, and then retrieve the help content as desired by the user, from the server, on demand.
Maybe I've got the wrong end of the stick, but if this all resides on an intranet then maybe you can use a mapped network drive which is shared between all your client machines, e.g. H:/ (you could make it part of their login script). You can then use a file link to get to the HTML pages, e.g. file:///H:/help_folder/index.html
If the rest of your app is delivered across the web, then you'll have to use a web server. There is very cheap and easy web hosting available.
