Just testing on a mobile device (particularly an iOS device) won't let you test for various things like keyboard, pointer-related issues (for mouse-type pointers), text spacing, etc. If pressed for time, you *can* test on desktop (where you can resize the browser window to test for reflow/trigger the "mobile" (more accurately, "small-screen") version, use Developer Tools' device emulation modes, and to a limited extent test for touch-related functionality and possible motion (depending on the device/emulation used). Ideally of course, you'd do the above, AND also verify on actual mobile/tablet devices. P -- Patrick H.
