Tersus: Cross-Device Development

Cross-Device DevelopmentDate: Apr 10, 2012Tersus provides a "develop once, deploy anywhere" platform for mobile apps.This consists of two layers:

Mobile web applications are inherently cross-device

Tersus adds the ability to deploy the a web app as a native iPhone app and as a native Android app.

Mobile Web Applications Are Inherently Cross-DeviceWhen you develop mobile web applications (as opposed to native applications), the applications are inherently cross-device.The reason is simple - when you use a web application, the platform on which it runs is actually the browser, so if you use the same browser on various devices, you get the same results.Life, of course, is more complex, so it is recommended to test the applications on more than one device:

The same application might behave differently on different browsers (mainly due to different default display styles), so to ensure cross-device deployment you should do cross-browser testing.

As devices have different screen sizes, make sure you don't develop specifically for a certain screen size.
