Frequently Asked Questions

Internet Explorer (IE) has around 5% market share in the US. Certain organizations may only allow a particular browser like Internet Explorer, while blocking other browsers for security reasons.

Therefore, given a healthy IE customer base and the way it supports CSS versions, Internet Explorer testing is important. Start Testing on IE for Free.

The IE emulator mimics an Internet Explorer browser on your workstation. This allows developers and QA testers to do a quick check of their websites on Internet Explorer.

IE Emulators only mimic an Internet Explorer browser screen and usually runs slower than the IE browser on a real device. For example, an IE test on Mac can’t be reliably done on an emulator or VM since developers and QA testers cannot mimic the exact CSS support and how certain interactions would work on a real device IE browser. Therefore a test on IE is incomplete without running these tests on a real device.
