Testing a Responsive Project

To effectively test a Responsive Project, you must be able to test it across all three breakpoints. You must also be able to test the interactions using a touchscreen rather than a mouse. This makes testing a Responsive Project a huge challenge. Captivate 8 is packed with many innovative features that will effectively enable you to test your Responsive Projects in a wide variety of situations. This is what you will review in this section.

Testing in the authoring environment

The first and most simple way to test your project is to use the play icon situated in the bottom-left corner of the Timeline panel. This feature allows you to test the current slide right in the authoring environment of Captivate without opening any preview window or external browser. This Preview option is great for testing the synchronization of the objects or to quickly preview a single slide. However, it is not able to render all the animated and interactive features of Captivate.
