It’s a fact that websites are used more nowadays on mobile devices than on desktop machines. With that in mind, developers and test engineers must include mobile device testing as part of their test plan. This core capability can be a bit complicated across analyzed test automation frameworks since testing on simulated viewports or emulators/simulators is only good to some extent.
