I generally use Virtualbox for this.
- nhebb 15y agoI was about to post the same thing. If you don't have an old PC laying around, running a VM is an easy way to test an application with limited resources. Another tip on is to setup another user account on your system with large fonts to quickly test DPI scaling.
- jscheel 15y agoI generally use virtual machines for testing, however, you can sometimes run into problems with this. For example: I recently discovered a javascript / flash interaction bug in IE that only exists in a VM environment. In the past, I've run into strange IE css rendering bugs in a VM as well. These are really few and far between, but they do happen, and have been documented issues with virtualized environments. If you are testing on a VM and you run into a bug that just doesn't make any sense, try running it on a real box with the exact same setup.
- binarymax 15y agoIs there a way to emulate varying processor speeds using VirtualBox or other VMs?
- gns24 15y agoI have done this successfully in the past; Ubuntu boots very slowly when limited to 5% CPU, but once up it's very usable. Look at vboxmanage --cpuexecutioncap
