The Tested Applications collection can include the mobile browser emulator. The emulator is used to test mobile web sites on desktop computers where TestComplete is installed. You can add the emulator to the TestedApps editor to be able to quickly launch it at design time.
The mobile browser emulator’s parameters are organized into two sections in the TestedApps editor - Basic Parameters and Run-Mode Parameters.
 |
Tested application items that correspond to the mobile browser emulator should be used only to launch the emulator at design time. Do not run the emulator as a tested application in tests. To launch the emulator from tests, use the Run Virtual Browser keyword test operation or the VirtualBrowsers.Item(browser_name).Run scripting method. |

| Count | The number of application instances that will be simultaneously launched during the test recording or run. |
| Autorun application on recording | Select this option to have the application launched automatically when you start test recording. |
| Launch application from tests | Uncheck this option to prevent the application from being launched by the Run TestedApp keyword test operation and the TestedApps.AppName.Run scripting method.For example, you can define several instances of the tested application with different configurations and “disable” those not needed at the moment. |
