Because browser tests capture the visual experience of a page, while uptime and API tests only capture response data, viewport settings apply to browser tests only. Network connection settings apply to all test types.

* A viewport is the framed area on a device's screen for viewing information, such as the browser window on a desktop. Since a viewport is an integral part of the visual experience of a user interacting with your application or site, viewport settings only apply to visual tests (browser tests). Viewport settings don't apply to API or uptime tests, because these tests are non-visual -- they only capture response data from your application or site.
13
+
* A network connection is the network type, speed, bandwidth, and latency experienced by a device. Since a network connection is an integral part of all experiences, network connection settings apply to all test types. Testing your site or application from a variety of network connections helps you to monitor the experience of users in a variety of environments.

Browser tests capture the visual experience of a user interacting with your application. The viewport is the framed area on a device's screen for viewing information, such as the browser window on a desktop. By default, browser tests run from a desktop-sized viewport, but in the test creation view you can select a different device type to test the user experience from a different viewport size.
