Have simulators (or physical devices) up and running you’ll want to interact with them as little as possible. ✤ Getting the simulators running can be a real bear. ✤ Most simulators require Windows to run (some require Perl or Java) ✤ Some browsers even provide standalone executables (Opera, Fennec). ✤ Always good to do a sanity check on a physical device before going live.įor most platforms and browsers. ✤ Any sort of interaction testing you’ll want to do on a physical device.

Mobile Graded Browser Support: Market share + Browser quality

✤ A = Full support, C = Fall back to old site, Other = Assume full support.īrowsers. ✤ Qualify which browsers you will support (actively test against) and give them a grade. Graded Browser Support technique is optimal.

Of those browsers are popular? ✤ No one seems to know, or isn’t talking about it. Of those platforms are popular? ✤ No one seems to know, or isn’t talking about it. ✤ As a result, developers develop for what’s in front of them: Now finding this information is a challenge. ✤ That being said: Very little actually-useful information leaks out. ✤ AdMob is decent for specific platforms (iPhone, Android). ✤ Gartner is well-respected and knows sale information well. ✤ StatCounter covers billions of hits per month. The best statistics on the mobile market? ✤ StatCounter and Gartner seem to be tops. That need to be answered before doing mobile development: ✤ What platforms and browsers are popular? ✤ What browsers are capable of supporting modern scripting? ✤ What devices and simulators do I acquire to test with? ✤ To answer those questions we need good data. ✤ As it turns out, it’s really hard to define the scope of the problem. With a simple goal: ✤ To make sure that jQuery works on the most popular mobile platforms and browsers. (.but not nearly as crazy as it use to be.) I’ve seen things.
