Microsoft announced the launch of BrowserSwarm, a new open source tool that helps web developers automate testing of their JavaScript frameworks and libraries across devices and browsers.

Developed in collaboration with AppendTo and Sauce Labs, BrowserSwarm is powered through the cloud, allowing developers to save time setting-up multiple browser or device testing environments and precious server resources, Microsoft said.

“BrowserSwarm is a way to help developers spend less time testing and more time innovating, Justin Garrett, senior product manager on Microsoft’s Internet Explorer team, told eWEEK.
