Automatic test tool for webpage design with micro-browsers on mobile platforms

A computer-implemented test system, comprising:

• a library of tasks configured to enable control of different micro-browsers when running on different handheld web-accessible devices, the library including micro-browser properties, device properties defined in the tasks, and at least one method that operates the different micro-browsers in a same way, wherein a task defines operations on the micro-browser under test;
• a test framework configured to execute the tasks to test a display of a webpage in the different micro-browsers when operating on the handheld web-accessible devices;
• a logging component configured to capture screen dump information to produce a screenshot image of the display of the webpage, representing a test feature image;
• a compare component configured to compare the test feature image to an expected display webpage image;
• and
• a microprocessor configured to execute computer-executable instructions in a memory associated at least with the test framework.
