Systems, methods and computer program products are provided for testing whether Web content has been properly tailored by a transcoding proxy for display within various requesting pervasive computing devices. Simulated HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) requests are built using information from one or more data files. Each simulated request includes a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) that identifies a location of Web content. Each simulated request also includes an HTTP header containing information about a respective pervasive computing device. Simulated HTTP requests are asynchronously issued to respective Web servers identified in the respective HTTP requests. An HTTP response to each respective simulated HTTP request is received and includes Web content tailored for display within a respective pervasive computing device associated with the respective simulated HTTP request. Each HTTP response is then compared with an expected HTTP response. An HTTP response that does not compare favorably with an expected HTTP response can be saved for later analysis.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION In view of the above discussion, it is an object of the present invention to provide systems, methods and computer program products for simulating different client devices running on various software platforms to ensure that Web page content tailoring is performed correctly.
It is another object of the present invention to facilitate the display of Web pages via pervasive computing devices that may have smaller displays and various performance limitations as compared with desktop computing devices.
These and other objects of the present invention are provided by systems, methods and computer program products for testing (i.
e.
, validating) whether Web content has been properly tailored by a transcoding proxy for display within various requesting pervasive computing devices.
Simulated HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) requests are built using information from one or more data files.
Each simulated request preferably includes a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) that identifies a location of Web content.
Each simulated request also preferably includes an HTTP is header containing information about a respective pervasive computing device.
Exemplary pervasive computing device information included within an HTTP header may include, but is not limited to, an identification of a device's browser, an identification of a device's operating system, characteristics of a device's display, and information about Web content a device is configured to display.
Simulated HTTP requests are issued to respective Web servers identified in the respective HTTP requests.
An HTTP response to each respective simulated HTTP request is received and includes Web content tailored for display within a respective pervasive computing device associated with the respective simulated HTTP request.
Each HTTP response is then compared with an expected HTTP response.
An HTTP response that does not compare favorably with an expected HTTP response can be saved for later analysis.
The present invention may facilitate determining whether Web content is properly tailored for display within virtually any type of client device having virtually any type of configuration without requiring that the actual device be used in the test
