Your RSS feed doesn't work with Netvibes (fairly popular RSS reader). Never had any issue with any feed before. Not sure I'd say the issue is on your or their end, I've never had any issues with any other feeds on Netvibes but your feed also works just find in Google Reader and as a live bookmark in Firefox.
Basically, after adding the feed in Netvibes the absolute latest item is the only to ever be shown, it does update as you add new posts but only the last one shows.
I didn't notice the feed is rather messy when you look at its source as it doesn't have line-breaks in conventional space, might be related, I don't know...
I'm currently trying out a reader called Newsblur, likely to switch to it from Netvibes... Just figured that I'd come by here and say that it too has the same issue with your feed, well, most of the time anyway (saw it at one time list multiple items but back to one now, and even the one new item is marked as read).
Maybe a whole lot of people don't use your RSS (Newsblur has a bit under 400 people subscribed to it) but it would be really nice if you fixed it, it's not just the one reader that has problems with it so that indicates an issue on your end.
Tested recently became broken for me on my Surface RT. The only major changed I've noticed on the site recently was that the header moves with you as you scroll down the page. Maybe that's the cause? But for some weird reason fellow Surface owner FishFaceMcgee said the site is fine for him.
Here are some pictures of what I'm seeing. I've also lost access to the text editor for some reason, so I have to post links.

I just switched to newsblur and have noticed the same issue. I would like to note that both of tested podcast RSS feeds I subscribe to seem to be working correctly.
Tacking onto the RSS issues chain. I tried to create a trigger on IFTTT for new items on your RSS feed. While IFTTT recognizes your feed, it never sees any updates. I checked with their support and they said that Tested.com doesn't provide a correctly formatted feed.
The IFTTT Feed Channel has a few standard formatting requirements in order to work as a reliable IFTTT Recipe: a top-level feed title and a unique link, GUID, and date for each entry in the feed.
Yo this site is borked-and-a-half for IE10 lately. Here's a link to a screen-shot: https://tjy8zg.bn1.livefilestore.com/y1pagwerBHR3TWID3xz09MYVciYt-Hn5qi0AkgodeMwFCxN08ugFVL9tmw9ZsC_t-hnkvhwtXlviKVEx_zGFCs17rkLWF6cI9e-/tested.PNG?psid=1
Header, footer, flow. All kinda things are straight broke.
This is going on at the bottom "soundManager: Flash URL required. Call soundManager.setup({url:...}) to get started.
SoundManager: No HTML5 Audio() support detected."
These problems are true both on Desktop and Start Menu IE versions.
For fixing the RSS I'd suggest starting with setting the contents of the guid elements to the article urls. I'm guessing a lot of readers have trouble with those since they are all set to "None" now.
Guess you made some progress on the RSS? Had several items showing on newsblur today which is new. Just saying so you that if you did something it seems to have helped quite a bit.
I'm not really sure if you'd call this a bug or not but it's been bugging me (pun not intended). The header banner thing on Tested's Youtube channel shows Norm with an iPhone, while the banner on Tested shows him with nothing.

@AceTKen: Hmm, works fine for me in x86 IE10.

Here's their response to my inquiry:
Just wanted to Report that i too have the same RSS Feed problem with Netvibes, though in google reader and others that feed directly from it are fine.
Thanks
Update
Just to add to this if anyone is reading still that feedly seems to be the only one that is fetching the tested RSS feeds

FYI, we're looking into the IE10 and RSS issues now. Sorry for the hassle guys.
For fixing the RSS I'd suggest starting with setting the contents of the guid elements to the article urls. I'm guessing a lot of readers have trouble with those since they are all set to "None" now.
and then when I scroll down it looks like this
Windows 7, IE10 1680 x 1050 res. (works fine in all other browsers I have tested
While not a bug, there sure have been a lot of spammers posting links to various shady streaming sites recently.
Yeah, I just want to chime in on the RSS issue too. I think changing the GUID from 'None' to a unique post ID will do it.
@gaffyh: make sure you're not using compatibility mode in IE.
Guess you made some progress on the RSS? Had several items showing on newsblur today which is new. Just saying so you that if you did something it seems to have helped quite a bit.
@Leonick: @coonce and @honza deployed a tweak yesterday.
I'm not really sure if you'd call this a bug or not but it's been bugging me (pun not intended). The header banner thing on Tested's Youtube channel shows Norm with an iPhone, while the banner on Tested shows him with nothing.
The site finally looks fine now, don't kow what you guys did, but I sure as hell didn't change anything on my end. Thanks @gpbmike
@gaffyh: I added a line to force IE to not use compatibility mode.
Fix for IE issues is working here. Thanks!
