Producing content for mobile devices raises the issue of testing the content in a situation as close as possible to the reality. Most of the time, you’ll only test the HTML 5 output of Captivate only on the mobile device you own or, even worse, in the desktop version of an HTML 5 web browser.

While I’m still looking for the perfect solution, I’d like to share some of my findings and some tips and tricks that I acquired along the way.
