When testing mobile web sites with TestComplete, please keep in mind the following:

Some web sites have a mobile version (such as m.example.com) for phones and a regular desktop version (example.com) for tablets. Web sites can also serve different pages or parts of a page to devices with different operating systems - iOS, Android, Windows Phone and so on. You need to take this into account when creating mobile web tests. For example, you may need to create separate tests for the iOS and Android versions of your tested site.
The following features are not emulated:
- Text autosizing on pages without a defined viewport (for example, zooming the content out to 980px like on iPad). This is due to the fact that TestComplete does not support testing of zoomed web pages.
- Network bandwidth. To simulate a 3G connection, you can use third-party tools such as Charles Proxy, NetLimiter, NetBalancer and others.
- GPS spoofing. You cannot override coordinates for the HTML navigator.geolocation API in the emulator. Location-aware web sites will use the computer’s current location (if you allowed it).
TestComplete opens and tests mobile web sites using Google Chrome in the mobile emulation mode. Even though Chrome has the same engine (WebKit) as most mobile device browsers, web sites may look different in the Chrome mobile emulator and on real mobile devices.

If Advanced emulation settings are disabled, TestComplete may not be able to emulate small browser widths. In this case, the browser size is emulated by resizing the Chrome window size (rather than setting the page viewport), and the Chrome window has a minimum width constraint. For example, the iPhone 5S browser width in portrait mode is 320px, but Chrome on Windows XP cannot be resized to less than 337px.

We recommend that you enable Advanced emulation settings to avoid issues. If, for some reason, you choose not to, refer to the following table for Chrome width constraints. You may need to emulate the landscape mode instead of the portrait mode to avoid these constraints.

OS	Chrome minimum width, px
Windows 10 Windows 8.1 Windows 8 Windows 7 with Aero theme * Windows Vista with Aero theme *	275
Windows 7 with Classic (Simple) theme Windows Vista with Classic (Simple) theme	357
Windows XP	337

* Some virtual machines do not support Windows Aero and can only use the Classic theme.
