User Agent Switcher Approach - Mobile Application Testing Using Web Browser (Firefox) Video Lecture | Mobile App Testing: Learn and Master - Software Testing

hello friends in this video I show you
how we can test mobile application using
Firefox browser okay this is the
cheapest solution available and you know
most economical solution for testing
mobile application before I proceed
further I feel about the padlock adding
all add-ons Firefox browsers a lot of
free iodine's or add-ons available just
like an extension okay so one of the
important extension is user agent
feature I will use that user agents
feature for testing a mobile application
on Firefox browser to proceed further I
launch Firefox browser and go to the
Google comm now I type Firefox user
agent in Google search bar and go to the
first page okay most probably the first
page only will be the off Mozilla you
need to click on this it will take you
to the Firefox main application page
here you will get an option use user
agents feature it will show you in the
next the version of that also so they
are keep on you know adding the versions
like they appear the new features and
all those things so although the latest
version will be available over here now
I click on this add to Firefox and allow
to install after this again
this will do software installation
window will appear and it will ask me to
install it now I click on the Install
Now button and this is the next step it
will ask me to restart the browser so I
click on the restart button now okay to
verify whether my engine is successfully
installed or not I go to tools
and here I see the option Google or
default user agent under that also I I
see lot of options here but here it is
selected on default user agent what does
that mean
okay before I proceed further I tell you
what is user agent now with this feature
or with this extension of Firefox we can
make the response of any internal or any
browser whichever is mentioned over here
okay so for example inside there like
Internet Explorer edition there right so
here require you see options for Intel
Explorer 6 intellect processor 1 and 2
Explorer 8 it means that if I select
this browser it will mimic the response
for Internet Explorer 6 even though we
if we are using Firefox browser but it
will mimic the response for Internet
Explorer 6 so if we open after selecting
this option if we open any application
it it will be launched or it will be
treated that we have been using a ie6
instead of a Firefox application ok so
in the next category we have option for
iPhone 3 ok so if I select iPhone 3 and
again I go here and see whether iPhone 3
is selected or not so here it is showing
iPhone 3.0 okay one more thing you have
to remember is we are just selecting the
options which are you know visible on
the screen or bigger which are available
in this option default user agent okay
so I am selecting this option only along
with that you know you can go on to the
Edit user again and here you can add
more options for iPhone 4 iPhone 5 any
other Android applications or any other
like iOS applications also you can go in
at all okay so you buy this month by
this user agent switcher option you can
put our string over there and then the
you can mimic the response for
particular operating system or a
particular browser okay I push it
further and I just clarify that okay we
have selected iPhone 3.0 yeah okay
so what this means the browser will be
treated as iPhone 3.0 browser now it's
not a Firefox browser now it's iPhone
3.0 browser how we can tell by it
I usually find that I simply look logon
to youtube.com
I just logon to combat it a second way
to MDOT youtube.com admins mobile okay
so far Firefox browser itself has taken
me to the mobile application of
youtube.com now it means that the
browser which you have launched is being
treated as a iPhone or iPhone 3 browser
okay so this way you can open any
application and that application will be
treated as that you have open that
application in a mobile environment so
for that you can proceed further with
your testing I show you one more example
that it is creating a mobile scene as
usual I will go to bestbuy.com ok I'm
going to bestbuy.com now again you can
see MDOT bestbuy.com here it means that
now the browser is being treated as Iife
on browser and now it is taking me to
the mobile application or the mobile
browser of the expert so this way you
can log your project application also to
test on a mobile application now you no
need to go on login to the physical
device if you don't have that physical
device no need to go to the cloud-based
solution also you simply can check when
verify the response of applicants and
that will be there in the mobile
application and you can simply test your
