Wireless content validation
First Claim
1. A method for validating wireless content comprising:
- performing a first web crawling process to retrieve a first set of content files from a web site, the first web crawling process including identifying a link in a first content file of the first set, and following the link to a second content file of the first set, the second content file including content based on the first content file;
analyzing the first set of content files for errors by emulating a first category of wireless devices; and
generating a log file including a navigation history and error information, wherein the navigation history includes one or more paths of links traversed during the first web crawling process.

Abstract
There are methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for validating wireless content on a system. A first web crawling process is performed to retrieve a first set of content files by identifying a link in a first content file and following the link to a second content file. The content at the second content file is based on the first content file. The retrieved first set of files is analyzed for errors by emulating a first category of wireless devices. A log file including error information and a navigation history is generated. The navigation history includes paths of links traversed during the first web crawling process. A second web crawling process is performed by traversing the path of links defined by the navigation history to retrieve a second set of content files. The second set of files is analyzed for errors by emulating a second category of wireless devices.
