Our Instant Test Bookmarklet allows you to quickly jump into a Live Testing session or take screenshots of the web page you are currently on at the time.
A bookmarklet is like a bookmark, but instead of loading a specific page, it injects JavaScript into the current page in your browser for added functionality. Our bookmarklet can be found at the Test Center, and quickly installed by being dragged into your bookmark bar.
Starting The Bookmarklet
To begin using the bookmarklet, simply click the bookmark while on the page you’d like to test. You’ll be presented with the following app on your web page:
From here you can jump right into a Live Testing session by clicking one of the browsers presented as a “Quick Launch Browser”.
Adding A Browser
To add a new browser, simply click Add and select the operating system, browser, and resolution. When you click Add, we’ll include that as a “Quick Launch Browser” as long as you are logged in.
Removing A Browser
To remove a browser, click Edit, and the X in the upper right-hand corner. In this view you can also change the resolutions of each configuration.
Running Screenshots
To run Automated Screenshots, select Shots on the left side navigation menu, right below Live. You can choose from popular or saved lists of browsers and quickly launch into our app’s UI.
