How to kill a web browserHow to kill a web browserPosted Oct 21, 2004 17:19 UTC (Thu) by smoogen (subscriber, #97)In reply to: How to kill a web browser by melevittfl Parent article: How to kill a web browser
All this means is that someone at MS wrote a test case that fed garbage HTML to the browser and then they fixed it whenever it crashed. It's not as if they are just magically smarter or better, they just had the resources to test a wider coverage. They might even have used a bunch of tests that Spyglass QA (the original writers of MSIE1.0) gave them as part of the sale. Netscape also had a large testing amount of pages that contained lots of bad text for people to try at. The main issue is that it is man-power intensive in looking at pages and seeing a) if a crash occurred and b) where it occurred.
