Testing website/webapps over wifi

It is important to test your web application/website throughout multiple devices before making live, there are few tool in the market to enable the testing environment but those are either tough  to install or costly.
You can test your web application in multiple devices without installing major applications, here is the tip.
  1. Firstly you need to connect all your devices to same WiFi network
  2. If you connected to a WiFi, each of your device will have it own IP address(E.g 192.168.0.xx), you can find those IPs in you wifi router console software
  3. Install any local server software like (WAMP, XAMP  or LAMP) depending on your laptop OS(Connected to same WfFi).
  4. Create a project folder in the "ht docs" folder or 'www' folder in the local server installed location(Refer the documentation of the local server)
  5. Put the local server online
  6. Bingo now you type your laptop IP in all your devices browser you will see localhost consoles from there navigate to you project folder
Local server will put the file online locally over the WiFi network, that is how it is possible.
