Examples of things to test:

In phpunit?

• run some known user-agent strings etc through the magic breakdown to confirm they bring up the settings we expect

In ...... some sort of client-side environment?

• masquerade as particular clients and ensure that you actually get the expected layout times
• masquerade as a web client that remembers cookies and confirm that clicking through the various 'view in desktop', 'view in mobile', etc links act as expected

Seeing this:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:MobileFrontend#Issues_with_MobileFrontend_and_possible_rewrite_11940
I thought some unit tests might now be useful.

This diff: http://jonrobson.me.uk/mediawiki/MobileFrontendTests.diff
suggests a possible test suite using qunit and suggest some tests to get started for opensearch.js and application.js. I also have some tests for the beta_ code (not attached) that I am still working on.

To use run

make remotes

then navigate to tests/client/index.html in your localhost (the tests to do with cookies will not run off a file uri)

Javascript tests were adding in r111741
