The Add Virtual Browser wizard lets you create a mobile browser profile (a combination of the user agent and browser screen size) to be used in mobile web tests. The dialog appears when you click the Add button in the Open Applications | Web Testing | Virtual Browsers category of the project properties or of the default project properties.
The wizard includes the following pages:
Specify the Browser User Agent
On this page, enter the user agent string to identify the browser. You can find the lists of mobile user agent strings here:
Specify the Browser Size in CSS Pixels
On this page, enter the width and height of the mobile browser screen in CSS pixels.
In most cases, the browser screen size is the same as the device’s physical resolution. The exception is devices with high pixel density, such as Apple devices with Retina displays. On these devices, the CSS pixel resolution is less than the physical screen resolution.
You can find many mobile browser screen sizes at http://viewportsizes.com.
Specify the screen width and height according to the needed orientation – portrait or landscape.
Specify a Name for the Virtual Browser
On this page, enter the browser name that will be used in tests. Examples: Kindle Fire HD, iPad landscape, Android 4.2 - Nexus 4.
