A starting point for testing

You've created that killer app or website and are ready to release it to the wild... or are you?

Before we release our creations into the wild, we need to test them thoroughly. It goes without saying that each and every element needs to be tested, but media such as images or videos need particular attention.

If the thought of testing conjures up images of needing lots of automated scripts, rigorous checking, and specialist software, think again. The most useful tool is the one we already have—our browser!

Granted, we need to perform lots of tests to ensure our content works well in a range of different devices. However, most of our testing can be done in desktop browsers, which come with responsive design facilities built within. They are not perfect, so we need the assistance of other facilities to complement our testing. Let's make a start though and take a look at the responsive facilities on offer in each browser, beginning with Chrome.
