[thelist] Cross-OS testing for front-end work

[Robert Lee]

While I don't do a lot of web design, I have VMware images for:IE6 (XP pre
SP1), Linux Mint (for FF), and OSX . I also test IE8 and Windows versions
of, Safari, Chrome, and Opera. 

There was a discussion on a list recently (may or may not have been this
one, I don't remember), where a couple of those tools (BrowserLab in
particular IIRC) weren't actually displaying IE6 versions correctly.

HTH,
Rob

Aside from which browser, what is common practice for testing?

How many use litmusapp, browsercam, Adobe BrowserLab, exc.?
How many maintain their own test machines?
How many rely on friends/customers to point out discrepancies in the  
pages?
