Building desktop or mobile web applications which will support as many browsers and mobile devices as possible. To achieve this, it is necessary to test your applications on many browsers and mobile devices. So what to do and How to do ? First option is you can buy all the devices you would like to support. Another option would be create a virtual machine for every supported platform and install the supported browsers, and for mobile devices, you could install the corresponding emulator. But all these options are unnecessarily wasting of time and money also.
