Anyone know of a service to QC test contact us form to ensure broad OS/browser compatibility ?

Hi All,

I'm working with a developer who created a contact us form for a client that, unfortunately, wasn't working on some OS/browser combinations.  We don't know which ones, because we weren't able to make the form "break" using our ow machines/browsers.  But we know that at least one potential customer of our client, and potentially more, said they submitted a form that never made it through.

Moving forward, I plan to use only third-party form solutions that have been field tested and vetted.  But the process of adapting those to the look and feel of a custom website has the potential for introducing unexpected compatibility issues (no?), so I'd love to be able to offer my clients more robust qa/qc of contact us form functionality.  After all, capturing leads is the whole point here!

Any advice?  Encountered these issues yourself?  Found a solution?

Thank you!

I think Sauce Labs is pretty much the best out, check out their device / OS / browser support here, https://saucelabs.com/features

Spoon.net is also pretty great if you develop on a Windows platform. I usually run other Os's in a virtual machine for testing too.

Agree with Lesley, one other thing.

We moved to using Bootstrap http://twitter.github.io/bootstrap/  It was developed by Twitter and is open source for our front end development.  This gives you a bunch of building blocks for putting a page together with "parts" that have been vetted to be as cross browser/platform friendly as possible.
