"IETester"
Hi Folks,
Generally a tester need to test the application for cross browser to check the compatibility of the application if different browsers. Sometimes we need to test the application in IE for various version and for this we need multiple IE . When have a single system and then the the question is"how to test in different IEs".
We generally use "Multiple IE" but the problem here I faced that when we use IE6 and IE7 parallel, IE7 works fine. but In IE6 it seems that some features are missing and testing is not done properly. For this I was using separate system or remote access of the system where slandered alone IE6 is present. But that was also not feasible in most cases. So i was wondering for some permanent solution.
Recently I came to know about a tool for testing in IE. and that is IETester. This not only allow to access IE6 and IE7 but You can use it to test pages in IE5.5, IE6, IE7 and IE8 all on the same machine without messing around with your main installed version of IE. This feature I liked more and forced me to use this.
Later I acme across few users and found that there are also some restrictions using this. It seems that this is about 90% of IE......what ever personally i do not have much issue over here.
Now I am happy using this. Hope this help all of you as well.........
Thanks,

I have seen few website that warn user about IE 6 , if you will open that websites on IE 6 browser , you will be warm warned :). like http://www.finn.no and http://www.vg.no.
Really these things makes developer happy. as a developer , my experience was very bad in IE 6. all IE 6 UI bugs was corrected with Hacks only. :(
anyway ... my primary concern about any web products are performance and good Usability Tests. I personally felt that QA part from these areas are still missing.
Here i am listing few tools that are not only open source but also that provide very vast area to judge and justify about your product.
