1968407 - Add a way to run Android webcompat tests using the responsive design mode where possible

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Web Compatibility :: Interventions, defect)

Description

[Thomas Wisniewski [:twisniewski]]

Our webdriver-based framework can open responsive design mode and set up the UA string and key navigator properties in a way which lets us test without having an actual Android device or emulator for most of our interventions. There will still be a few which require being run in the embedded browser or Fenix, but having a way to run them through a regular desktop artifact build should speed things up a fair bit, especially for QA (since it can be tricky and/or time-consuming to set up the Android emulator and a build).

As a bonus, this will also allow us to likewise spoof other platforms, so we can test our Linux, Mac, and Windows interventions using another desktop running a different OS.

Tests will be able to specify whether they require being run on the actual platform, in those cases where (for instance) it's a viewport-related issue on Android or the test driver just can't emulate the type of scrolling or other interaction required.
