Testing a Mobile Web Site

Abstract

Testing a Mobile Web site can be complicated and expensive. Comprehensive testing means using a wide variety of mobile devices and operators to access the Internet across radio networks and Wi-Fi and to exercise the features of the Mobile Web site. Mobile Web testing requires access to many mobile devices or, less effectively, simulation of the mobile devices and as much of the mobile ecosystem as is feasible: the mobile browser running on device hardware, with bandwidth-limited network access, through the private services of the operator network, and finally out to the public Internet to retrieve Mobile Web content.
