Lindsey Simon: Use 10,000 Browsers

Use 10,000 Browsers - or - How to Crowdsource, Archive and Share User Agent Data in the Open with Browserscope.

Most web developers reduce browser bugs down to small test cases, but the act of collecting the results of these tests is a pain, and the results tend to end up in docs, email, or lost in a spreadsheet. Browserscope aims to solve this problem.

This session will provide context for the existing test categories on www.browserscope.org (http://www.browserscope.org/), provide a look at the data in the popular public test sets (Modernizr, HasJs, JSPerf) and then walk participants through how to write a test and store their own test results on Browserscope.
