How do QA engineers choose screen sizes and device breakpoints for testing a responsive static website?
02:10 21 Apr 2026

I’m doing manual QA for a responsive static website and want to define a professional set of screen sizes/devices for testing (mobile, tablet, desktop), including edge cases and in-between widths.

How do teams typically decide:

  • Which viewport widths to test (e.g. 375, 768, 1440)?

  • Whether to prioritize CSS breakpoints vs real device resolutions?

  • How many real devices vs browser emulators to use?

  • How to cover “in-between” widths where layout bugs often appear?

I’m looking for industry best practices or QA workflows.
