# Emulate and test other browsers

<!-- todo: start w/ positive summary -->
Your job doesn't end with making sure your site runs great across Microsoft Edge and Android. Even though the [Device Emulation](index.md) tool can simulate a range of other devices such as smart phones, we encourage you to check out solutions for emulation provided by other browsers.

If you need to test your website or app with Microsoft browsers and don't have the necessary versions of Windows to do so, you can use BrowserStack, which supports testing of many combinations of Microsoft browsers and operating systems both past and present. For example, you can test all versions of Microsoft Edge (Chromium) from version 80 onwards, and Microsoft Edge (EdgeHTML) versions 15 through 18. Testing of Microsoft Edge is free on BrowserStack. For more information, see [Microsoft Edge Browser Testing](https://www.browserstack.com/test-on-microsoft-edge-browser) at BrowserStack.

* [BrowserStack](https://www.browserstack.com/automate) helps you perform manual testing. You select an operating system, a browser version, a device type, and a URL to browse, and then BrowserStack spins up a hosted virtual machine that you can interact with. You can run multiple emulators in the same screen, to test the look and feel of your app across multiple devices at the same time.

* [Mobileum](https://www.mobileum.com/) doesn't use emulators, but real devices which you can control remotely. This is useful when you need to reproduce a problem on a specific device and an issue might not appear in some reports.
