How Internet Explorer 8 Affects QA Testing for Web Applications

Now that IE 8 is available:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/worldwide-sites.aspx

The three options for IE to control are 6, 7, 8 and QA code against and if you add to Firefox, Safari, Chrome, etc. - 6 browsers.

How do people deal with all these browsers and provide the greatest variety among them with their code?

What do you think of virtual machines with basic operating systems, and then clone them and update your browser, so we have Windows 2000 Pro with IE 6, 7 and now 8, and then WinXP Pro with IE 6, 7 and 8, etc. d.?

The new program, released by Microsoft, is called Microsoft Expression SuperPreview and will allow you to test websites in IE 6/7/8, and after completion you can test Firefox, Chrome, Opera and Safari.

I personally hope to soon abandon IE6 support .; -)

"Soon" may end longer than I like, but, of course, the new development will not support IE6.

I'm really interested to see where libraries such as jQuery stand. They used to say that they support the latest official build and the previous one for the main browser (for example, they were IE7 and IE6). I wonder if the next jQuery version will reset IE6. It would be a bold, bold step, but, of course, to make a better, denser library in the future.

IE6 is already starting to lose support, and I believe that the release of IE8 may be the last straw. Very few products have three separate supported products at once.

I have lost IE6 support on most sites. I throw the Dean Edward script on the page and if IE6 is still not working, then end it if IE6 is not vital.
