We release CrXPRT 2015 to the public later today. Many thanks to all the community members who’ve used the community previews for all their help. CrXPRT will be available in the Chrome Web Store, but for now, it will not be available as a direct download from the CrXPRT page. We’re looking into ways to host a direct download on our site, and hope to have a solution after the first of the year. If you’re having problems getting CrXPRT from the store, the community previews will still be available in the members’ area.
If you are new to testing in a Chrome environment, be aware of some things. One is that a Chromebook will check for updates every time it reboots. If you’re running multiple tests, be sure to not reboot the system, or it may upgrade the operating system between your tests.
For those testing multiple devices, it’s a good idea to use a separate account for each device. If you have multiple Chromebooks logged into the same account, Chrome OS will sync all devices. This could be useful in some circumstances, but it could be a problem at other times.
We are very excited about the release. Let us know what you think!
