Knowledge Point: Responsive Web Design

Nowadays, we visit websites from multiple devices: computers, tablets and smartphones, with different screen sizes. This will require the developers to design a web page that works reasonably well on all platforms.

Responsive Web Design is a technique used to design a web page that ‘intelligently’ fits the platform. In software testing, ‘responsive web testing’ means testing web pages in different browser dimensions (i.e. different devices).
