Programmers and web developers are well familiar with many different kinds of hell - DLL hell, JAR hell, etc. What I mean by IE hell is the situation when in order to test my newly created web page for compatibility with different versions of IE browser I have to run around in circles, begging my collegues to let me use their computers for a while. How come? It's simple. Most of us updated IE to version 8 and only several people were clever enough to resist the temptation. Now, all of us "I've got the newest IE8" wise guys depend on those who have "It doesn't work" IE7 or "Wow, I will have to rewrite this CSS especially for you" IE6 browsers.
This makes me a saaaaad panda (Southpark fans know what I mean).
Being determined to make something about it, recently I've started to look for a way to make all versions of IE work on a single computer. Moreover, this computer had to be my laptop not a server hosting a number of virtual machines - one for each IE version. And yesterday I found it.
Remedy to all my current IE problems is called IETester. I've tested it myself and it has already turned out to be helpful for some of my collegues. It simply does it's job! All IE versions in one box and working! Brilliant! It may sound like a commercial or sponsored article, but who cares! I'm truely enthousiastic about my finding! IETester rocks!
