That said it is not 100% reliable since there are so many different brands/versions of phones there will be differences in behavior, thus no, BrowserSim does not replace real or emulated phone testing. For full verfication/testing you should test on a real phone. -------------------------------------------------------------- Comment by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-18100] Create a new document in JBoss Tools at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=102&a...]
