Orientation

Also called: Portrait, Landscape, Rotation

Whether the device is held upright (portrait) or sideways (landscape).

Definition

Rotating the device changes the screen size and, on Android, may recreate the screen entirely. Testers rotate during typing, loading and playback to find layout breaks and lost state.

In practice

Rotating the phone while a checkout form is half filled should keep every value you typed.
