When we start a discussion about Mobile browser testing, we immediately think of testing on a mobile device. I can suggest a different idea. Emulators.
Nowadays it’s very common that people view websites on mobile devices. So Mobile testing is needed in order to ensure testing.
What is an Emulator? Any Guess?
An Emulator is a device which mimics something close enough so that it can be substituted for real world device. Mobile emulators always supports functional output and will tell you visually, what isn’t working on a website. A mobile phone emulator lets you check the responsiveness and functionality of the website across different mobile platforms, such as iPhone, Android..etc..
Emulation or emulators behave exactly like the same device, in order to result in exact output and performance.
Emulator is – it will always take compile code and it will try executing it but in case of
Simulator is – it is very similar to interpreter that is it actually executes the real code in line by line to mimic original behavior of that device.
