All URLs Are Now Fully Bookmarkable

I'm happy to announce that we've fixed a big usability hole by going through the app and making all of your Mogotest result URLs fully bookmarkable. Now when you're looking at an issue you can bookmark the URL and return to it at a later time.

Previously, if you had clicked on a specific issue and bookmarked the page, the issue would no longer be highlighted when you reopened the URL. While it was nice to be able to return to the page, it was easy to forget exactly which issue you were looking at. Now you can just bookmark the page or add the URL to your issue tracker and when you revisit the page the exact issue you were previously looking at will still be highlighted.

This is incredibly helpful for those times when you can't fix the problem right away or if you're not the person who will be fixing the problem.

However, if you do plan on sharing the URL with someone else, they will have to be a member of your team. For your own privacy, we do not allow any unauthorized users to view your test results and therefore only team members have access to any URLs you share. (The plans that allow you to have multiple users are the Team, Agency, and Enterprise plans.)

We hope you find the ability to bookmark your test results useful. Let us know what you think about it!

Choose the browsers you test in!

We've added the ability for you to select which browsers you want to test your site in. If we have browsers you no longer develop for, just unselect them and you'll no longer get test results for those browsers. This a good way to keep your test results concise and relevant to what you're working on. And we'll still select a good set of defaults for you so you don't need to configure anything if you don't want to....

Presenting Web Consistency Testing

Web Consistency Testing (WCT) is a new approach towards testing Web pages. It tests how a page is rendered — how it's viewed by those visiting your site or using your web app. This is arguably one of the most important aspects of a site. I recently was fortunate enough to present [Web Consistency Testing](http://webconsistencytesting.com/) at Google's Test Automation Conference. The talk goes into the details of how it works and how to build a WCT system, with Mogotest serving as the vessel through which many of these concepts have been validated....

Posting a file through the Mogotest API

We recently rolled out a big enhancement to our prepared test run API that allows you to upload your own files to be tested on Mogotest. This is a great way to integrate Mogotest with your existing functional testing suite....

Filtering Mogotest Traffic in Google Analytics

One of the questions we've been asked more frequently is: how can we filter Mogotest traffic in our analytics tool? While our spider uses a customer user agent (mogobot) that's easy to filter on, the test browsers have been considerably trickier. Well, I'm happy to say that after some heavy internal testing we now finally have a good answer to the problem....
