Can I test if website works well on iPhone/iPad/etc. without iPhone?

For various varieties of Windows and IEs v开发者_开发百科irtual machines work perfectly. But how do I test against iPhones?

It's not iPhone-specific site, I just don't want it to be too broken.

If you had a Mac you could install the iPhone SDK and use the iPhone Simulator.

Generally you should be ok by testing using Safari as that is the web browser that is available on both iPhone and iPad.

However, keep in mind the different amount of screen real estate for the iPhone and the reduced CPU power in both cases. These are not devices optimized to beat your quad-core Xeon base system but to reduce power consumption.

By testing against Safari (e.g. via Selenium RC and/or WebDriver) you can run a lot of tests without the device.

As a final confirmation before release I suggest to still borrow each of the target devices and run a test on it. Nothing beats the actual environment!

Good luck!

Or install the iPhone SDK and use the iPhone Simulator if your using a Mac.

The iphone simulator doesn't have the restrictions like memory and processor.
