What is modern.IE? New easy to use Testing tools for web developers from Microsoft

Being Web Developer, It is really difficult job to get your site compatible with all browsers, especially with IE  :-).  Most of time we are struggling with our HTML to adjust alignment of DIV's, removing extra padding, correction in font and so on….

One of the tedious thing is that to test the changes done. In Recent there no. of tools available by which we can check our site in different browsers but it is really difficult to maintain the compatibility between the IE versions as some things are good in IE9+ but not working in IE6, client wants IE6 compatibility and blah blah....

Thanks to MICROSOFT for their latest launch of modern.IE which provides some powerful tools to test our website to achieve a best web experience on all versions of IE, other browsers and on all devices.

It has various features which are as follows:

• We can run a compatibility scan for our website which will show a detailed report by which we make changes to our website to fix common problems form supporting old IE versions, optimizations required to make the site work well across browsers, across devices.  (We can export these reports in PDF too.)
• We can download an offline version of moder.IE code scanner. This analyzes the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript of a site or application for common coding issues. It warns about practices such as incomplete specification of CSS properties, invalid or incorrect doctypes, and obsolete versions of popular JavaScript libraries.
• It provides “BrowserStack screenshot automation” by which we can take a screenshots of our websites appearance across different devices and different browsers by which we can make sure that it looks great on other browsers and devices too.
• It also provides “Compat Inspector”, which is a JavaScript-based testing tool that analyzes our site while it runs. It watches for patterns of interaction known to cause issues and reports them automatically. This allows us to identify problems quickly without first memorizing a bunch of documentation.
• It has collection of 90+ different virtual machines for Windows, MAC and Linux to test our site on Test versions of IE. We can download it and can manage in our own development environment.
• It has great collection of articles related to website performance enchantment and other related things.

It has several other features too which you can explore here .
