Hi all,
Good news, BrowserStack sponsors free subscriptions for the DokuWiki
community.
If you don't know what BrowserStack [https://www.browserstack.com/] is,
it's a pretty amazing service which lets you test your website
(including local testing) in a huge range of browsers and operating
systems, often running on real devices. Most of their browsers have
developer tools which come especially in handy on mobile devices.
We're using the service at work and I haven't opened a single VM for
browser testing since then.
What I haven't used yet is their Automate service which includes
Selenium cloud testing. Quite interesting for DokuWiki. We don't use
Selenium (yet) but there are some thoughts on
https://www.dokuwiki.org/devel:ideas:frontendtests
If you are a regular DokuWiki contributor (core, plugins or templates),
just send me an email and I can send you an invite for your free
subscription. Please include if you'd like to have access to Live,
Automate and/or Screenshot (see below for user limits).
Unfortunately I don't have a lot of details about the terms of use of
the sponsored plan. I asked my contact about specifics but he didn't
answer that question. The plan details on my dashboard give us some more
information:
Current Plan^Parallel tests^Users^Date
Live Team|2 parallel sessions|Up to 6 users|Expires on 4th Oct, 2017
Automate Rapid|5 parallel sessions (fair usage)|Unlimited|Expires on 4th
Oct, 2017
Screenshots Team|2 parallel sessions|Up to 6 users|Expires on 4th Oct,
2017
If we get more than 6 users, I guess we could potentially activate
people's access temporarily when they need it.
The subscription expires after one year but we can get it renewed then.
Please update https://www.dokuwiki.org/devel:browserstack with any tips
and tricks you discover and find helpful.
Cheers,
Anika
