BROWSERLAB

Adobe flash an innocent little animation software, that's what comes to mind when hearing the word flash. But Adobe Flash has grown leaps and bounds into Flash platform now. And they have many cool software mainly for web based applications. And one of which is the Adobe BrowserLab.

To say about BrowserLab, simply its a browser layout testing tool. Is that all no not really recently back at work, I came across the BrowserLab for testing one of our companies web site and it was fantastic. It pin pointed every layout mismatches across various OS and Browser combination. I even found some IE disasters and Mac OS Safari blenders with it.

But one sad thing I found as its limitation was that it doesnt support user interaction testing. If Adobe comes up with some tool to test user interaction with the website across multiple platform then it will be a real treat for all web dev's out there.

CROSSWORD

A crossword is a word puzzle that normally takes the form of a square or rectangular grid of white and shaded squares. The goal is to fill the white squares with letters, forming words or phrases, by solving clues which lead to the answers. In languages which are written left-to-right, the answer words and phrases are placed in the grid from left to right and from top to bottom. The shaded squares are used to separate the words or phrases.

Squares in which answers begin are usually numbered. The clues are then referred to by these numbers and a direction, for example, "4-Across" or "20-Down". At the end of the clue the total number of letters is sometimes given, depending on the style of puzzle and country of publication. Some crosswords will also indicate the number of words in a given answer, should there be more than one. (source: wikipedia.org)
