TestingBot provides a cloud of browsers to run Automated, Live and Visual browser testing.
To keep our Selenium grid with over 1500+ real browsers healthy, we use various tools and techniques to monitor and troubleshoot potential problems.
Since we're booting thousands of pristine VMs per day for you to run tests on, and since computers and networks sometimes act weird, this monitoring is essential for us to quickly fix issues and keep our grid of browsers healthy at all times.
Starting with Firefox 46, it will no longer be possible to install unsigned extensions with Firefox.
Since Selenium currently uses a Firefox extension to run WebDriver tests on Firefox, this will no longer work once Firefox 46 is released to the public.
In this article we'll focus on setting up your own Selenium grid from scratch. A Selenium grid is a collection of browser nodes that are available for automated testing. We'll show you how to set up a Selenium Grid Master (or Hub, or Selenium Server, whichever you want to call it) and how to connect various Selenium Nodes to the grid.
Update: this feature is now available, please see our real mobile devices.
We are working hard on providing a real mobile-device test lab to our customers.

Sikuli is able to automate anything you see on your computer screen by using image recognition to identify components you want to interact with. This is very useful if you want to test things that are not easy to automate, for example native OS GUI components.
Since a lot of websites have upload functionality, it's important to know that this can be tested via Selenium.
Today TestingBot has added a new feature that should help you debug issues you encounter when running automated tests.
Suppose you're running a test and you notice something isn't quite working well (AJAX request is failing, Javascript errors, ...).
With Robot Framework you can build easy to read test cases, which can then be run via Selenium WebDriver on our Selenium Grid.
It allows using keyword driven, behaviour driven approaches and provides reports in HTML format.
This week we've been adding many more browser versions to our list of browsers you can pick from.
You can now instantly launch a Chrome browser as old as version 35 on our website and use it with your mouse and keyboard. Or use it in your Selenium IDE/Selenium Builder/Webdriver test to automatically test your website. We've added Chrome versions 35 - 45 for all Mac (Yosemite/Mavericks), Linux and Windows (XP, 7, 8, 10) platforms.
