System and method for testing data representation for different mobile devices

A computerized development platform for testing data representation for displays of different types of mobile communication devices, the development platform comprising:

• a non-transitory computer readable data storage medium having stored thereon a plurality of device profiles, each device profile including a size of a display screen and a resolution of the display screen of one of the different types of mobile communication devices;
• and
• one or more hardware processors configured to execute computer readable instructions that configure the one or more hardware processors to:
• emulate display screens of the different types of mobile communication devices, the emulated display screens having different sizes and resolutions, as defined by the respective device profiles,
• show representations of a plurality of the emulated display screens concurrently on a display of a developer,
• retrieve input data from a data source,
• display the input data as content in the representations of the plurality of the emulated display screens concurrently on the display of the developer;
• receive for data elements of the input data a configuration parameter that indicates for a data element whether it is to be displayed as a mandatory data element on all of the representations of the plurality of the emulated display screens;
• check whether the mandatory data element is displayed concurrently in all of the representations of the plurality of the emulated display screens;
• and
• generate a warning signal when the mandatory data element is not displayed concurrently in all of the representations of the plurality of the emulated display screens.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon computer program code configured to control one or more processors of a development platform for testing data representation for displays of different types of mobile communication devices, such that the development platform performs the steps of:

• storing a plurality of device profiles, each device profile including a size of a display screen and a resolution of the display screen of one of the different types of mobile communication devices;
• emulating display screens of the different types of mobile communication devices, the emulated display screens having different sizes and resolutions, as defined by the respective device profiles;
• showing representations of a plurality of the emulated display screens concurrently on a display of a developer;
• retrieving input data from a data source;
• and
• displaying the input data as content in the representations of the plurality of the emulated display screens concurrently on the display of the developer
• receiving for data elements of the input data a configuration parameter that indicates for a data element whether it is to be displayed as a mandatory data element on all of the representations of the plurality of the emulated display screens;
• checking whether the mandatory data element is displayed concurrently in all of the representations of the plurality of the emulated display screens;
• and
• generating a warning signal when the mandatory data element is not displayed concurrently in all of the representations of the plurality of the emulated display screens.
