Using the Bookmarklet

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:

Bookmarklet Overview

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.

Known Issues:

  • Bookmarklet layout issues:  The bookmarklet injects javascript into the current page you are viewing. CSS styles on these pages can impact the appearance of the bookmarklet. If you notice a site that it is not correct on, contact us and we will try to correct it.
