Supported Devices
Which devices are supported
Each project has its own list of supported browsers, which is determined by the date the contract was agreed. When testing across devices you must ensure you test both on the oldest supported device, as well as the two latest OS versions.
A list of supported devices should be included in the Readme file for the project. If this is missing let Pat or Dan know and we will add it
Real devices
Of course the best way to test is to use a real device, so it is advised to use what you have available. This will give you the best idea of how the site interacts with touchscreens etc.
Browserstack
We do not expect developers to own every differnet device, so we have five user accounts for Browserstack which are available in LastPass. Browserstack allows testing across all devices, past and present. Ensure that you are testing with the correct OS version as some devices are available with multiple versions.
Browserstack also allows you to set the location of the device, see Multi-Region
iOS Simulator
XCode has a built in iOS Simulator for testing iOS devices. All OS versions can be installed and tested, so this is another alternative option.
