As part of the overall mobile lifecycle, browser-based emulators have an important role to play in the testing of mobile websites. The goal for emulated mobile testing is that it be easy, fast, and have the capability to test performance across a diverse range of browsers and operating systems. In addition, emulated mobile testing must provide deep diagnostic information on performance, as well as functionality, enabling QA to provide development with the information needed to optimize their mobile websites. MITE Enterprise for UFT delivers on all these goals. Mobile developers will enjoy accurate and easy device emulation not seen with other browser-based user agent switching solutions. Mobile developers can record a single UFT script on any mobile device profile and then play it back across all required emulated smartphones, feature phones and tablets to assure that the mobile website is optimized for any mobile device.
