Do we need to test websites on Internet Explorer (No Add-ons) additionally?

[srinivas kadiyala]

I have observed in Windows Environment, we have 32-Bit / 64-Bit Internet Explorers (for 32 Bit / 64 Bit system respectively).

Additionally - We have "Internet Explorer (No Add-ons) ... 

Usually, we test on 32-Bit / 64-Bit Internet Explorers ... 

But, do we need to test on  Internet Explorer (No Add-ons) additionally?

And dont forget the compatibility modes too.

If you come across an unusual defect which cannot be reproduced in other browsers (such as IE crashing), using the no add-ons option can be a useful diagnostic tool while raisng the issue.

I recently had an issue caused by the Adobe helper add-on.

As to what to test what does your userbase use?

No Addons is not a normal option so would say no. But then agaain the
userbase might be a org that has tight controls in place.

I usually, dont prefer to test on Compatibility Modes of Internet Explorer. As i have no faith on them :)

Simply to say, once i read in Microsoft article - Compatibility is not exactly equivalent to Original ones.
