	Most of my testing I do using various standard Operating Systems such as MacOS and Windows, plus emulators for popular mobile devices. To let me test on Operating Systems I don’t generally use I go for Gnome Boxes. I little clunky and slow, but it does the job. When developing websites and applications I test on all of the popular Browsers.

It is also pretty useful for breaking down comonents to change a non-transparent image into a transparent image.
