Shim uses node.js to test sites on multiple browsers
Shim is a node.js app that enables simultaneous, sync web surfing across a variety of browsers and devices. It was developed within Boston Globe's media lab as a way to study how web sites look on different types of devices and browsers. A laptop simply intercepts all WiFi traffic that is redirected to a custom node.js server, which then inserts a "shim" javascript at the head of each web page that it visited. This shim, once loaded in a device's browsers, opens and maintains a socket connection to the server. The goal of shim is to make cross-device and cross-browser testing much easier.News | 16 Jan 2012
