Testing The Web Anywhere: OperaDriver on Mobile Devices
summary
Claims that OperaDriver on Opera Mobile now lets Selenium run tests against real phones and an Opera Mobile emulator, targeting Android 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and expected to land in the repo within weeks. Demo falls back to the emulator when Wi‑Fi drops but tests execute and feel fast. Implementation uses the browser’s debug protocol so there’s no proxy to browser, easing ports across devices. Cites reach of 160 million Opera Mini users to justify mobile-first testing.
