How much time on alternate methods of browser testing?

Here's a question for anyone who has done professional Web design on at least a part-time basis. I'm trying to help a friend decide whether to get an account with a company (browsercam.com) that lets you submit a URL and then see what it would look like using different combinations of screen sizes, operating systems and browsers. Apparently they use a "farm" of real computers to do this. It ain't cheap.
For those of you designers not using the above-mentioned company or anyone similar, what do you prefer for testing your CSS/HTML for compatibility with the variety of website visitors out there, including those with mobile devices - AND - how much time do you think you use this way in a typical year? Or month? The Dreamweaver Browser Lab? Testing it out on several computers you have access to? Sending the link to several people using different computers and smart phones? Something else?
Thanks!

I'm not a big fan of screenshot services b/c a still image of one site page doesn't tell you much. This may be OK for quick layout checks but it isn't sufficient for usability and performance testing. For that, you really must test in real browsers & devices.
I have current versions of the 5 major browsers installed on my workstation (IE, FF, Opera, Safari & Chrome). Plus MyDebugBar's multi-IE tester for checking legacy IE.

If you're specifically targeting a particular make or model mobile device, it's best to buy or borrow one. Given the staggering number of models on the market, it's not possible to check every one.

Determining how much time is left for HttpSession expiration

Hi,
Is there any way to determine how much time is left for my session to expire ? What i want to do is, if there is no activity on some page for a long time, then according to the remaining session expiration time, i want to popup a message to the user that 'so much' time is left for his session to expire. If the user wish we can reset the session expired time to its initial value and the session continues.

Well, see, how are you going to do this even if there was a method (which there is sorta... you need to use getMaxInactiveInterval() and getLastAccessedTime() from session to figure it out yourself). What I mean is, how are you going to tell the user. The JSP can't call the browser to tell it anything, and when the user goes to another page, the timer is reset, so it'll never be below that limit after that request.
Actually, I can think of only one way, and that is to have a JavaScript code on the page and use setTimeout function to show an alert after the needed time expires.

How much time does the ESS import take?

Hi,
How much time does import of ESS into NWDI take?
I have selected following files for import yesterday:
SAP-JEE
SAP-BUILDT
SAP-ESS
SAP-JTECHS
SAPPCUI_GP
and looked at it today and it is still importing.
In CMS Transport Studio State column displays message: Import running.
Any ideas why it takes so long?
Regards,
Ladislav

Hi,
I have imported files one by one in this order:
SAP-JEE
SAP_BUILDT
SAP_JTECHS
SAPPCUI_GP
SAP_ESS
Is this order correct?
I didn't import EP_BUILDT - is it required?
I have checked the CBS logs and there is one broken DC in SAPPCUI_GP compartment
in the pcui_gp/isr development component.
The build log contains this error:

Maybe because of this error the requests are queued?

How much times a word appears in a string?

There is any function to find out how much times a word
appears in a string?
For example:
mystring = "Mytext... text... contentext";
There is any function to tell me that "text" appears 3 times
in that string?
I searched for function like that, but didn't found
one.

here's a method that seem fairly consistent using the
string.split() method - the returned array will always have one
more index than the places in which the string was split.

How do I display time remaining in a captivate published video so the learning can know how much time is remaining in a video

After I publish my video it just plays but there is no indication of how much time is remaining on the video while watching. How do I display this

It is possible, but you have to know 'time' is bit different, depending if you are talking about the 'editors' time or the real time spent by the the trainee. Have a look at this old blog post, that tries to explain:
http://blog.lilybiri.com/display-time-information
Time can show on the TOC (editors time), and if you have a playbar with a progress bar that gives some indication as well, but both for pure linear projects.

Is there a way of checking how much time has been spent on an Adobe document?

I would like to know how much time is spent preparing or completing Adobe forms for time keeping purposes. Is there any record of this in the individual document metadata, or anywhere?

Hi mikeq,
I don't believe that's something that gets tracked in your Acrobat.com online account. There are free time-tracking utilities, though. I did a quick Google search and found a number of them.
Best,
Sara

While running the query how much time it will taken, I want to see the time

Hi Folks
I would like to know ... While running the query how much time it will be taken, I want to see the time? in WEBI XI R2.....
Plz let me know the answer.......

Hi Ravi,
The time a report runs is estimated based on the last time it was run. So you need to run the report once before you can see how long it will take. Also it depends on several factors... the database server could cache some queries so running it a second time immediately after the first time could be quicker. And there is the chance of changing filters to bring back different sets of data.
You could also schedule a report and then check the scheduled instance's status properties and view how long a report actually ran.
Good luck

Is there a plug-in that tracks how much time you've spent in specific files?

I want an easy way to track how much time I've spent on certain projects. I really just need a plug-in that tracks how long files have been open. I'm having trouble searching for one like that; does anyone know if this exists as a plug-in or even as a function of Photoshop (or Illustrator)? This would be very helpful for freelancers. Thanks.

Is there a way to see how much time's left to render?

I was wonder if Final cut pro x have the ability to show how much time is remaining in the rendering process...like premiere or final cut 7 use to, if I remember correctly...Same thing with Compressor 4.1.3

The big problem with estimating time remaining is the app cannot see into the future on the timeline. there might be a very complicated section coming up that requires rendering effects, graphics, or complicated Motion files but only after lots of heavy duty decompression or transcoding.
After using FCP for many years we sort of got a feeling for how much horsepower and time were going to sucked up with any given project or settings but today's monster CPUs and graphics cards have required me to rethink all of that previous experience.

Possible to check how much time an update statement on a table would take ?

Hello @all
I have a table with a fragmented Index, the table has an actula "user_updates" from 226'699.
How can i find out how much time an update on this table takes ?
i would like to check if there is any performance increase when i regroup the index (rebuild), cause the index has a fragementation of 85% now... (or should i delete the index completely) cause there are no user_seeks... only user_updates on the table...
and i thought that indexes only makes sense if users are reading from the table... am i wrong ? (cause on every update from the table, the index (indexes) have to be updated too...
Thanks and Regards
Dominic

Rebuilding the index will not likely result in a modification be quicker. At least not more than marginal. In fact, it might wven be slower, since if you currently have space on the index page for the new row and then rebuild so you *don't* have space then
the index rebuild will make that update be slower (at least for the cases where you get page splits).
However if the index isn't used to find rows (any of the other three columns), then you have an index which only cost you and doesn't help you!

Can someone tell me how many seconds the cross fade is when running your nano in that mode? I teach spin class and want to know how much time I'm losing in that mode.

You aren't losing any time in that mode, but I believe it is a 10 second fade out/fade in.

How much time I had to charge my new I phone 5s for the first time?

I would say that is a matter of judgement
If we are being pedantic it may noteven need a charge initially in that case ,it may have sufficient power ,
assume we are ok with the green battery being full green for 100% charge
