how to test my windows 8 application

I am planing to develop a widows 8 based app using HTML5. I do not own any windows phone/tablet.

Has Microsoft/or any third party come out with an app that allows me to test the sensors on iOS/Android based devices?

In Visual Studio 2012 Express for Windows 8, there is a simulator which allows you to simulate the functionality of a tablet: touch, orientation (so you can simulate rotating a tablet into portrait mode), different resolutions/screen sizes, and location. But to develop using this, you have to be running Windows 8 as an operating system.

There is not support from Microsoft for testing on iOS/Android devices. However, there are a few third parties who have built game creation software (like GameSalad or Scirra's Construct 2) which allows you to build a game and then export it as a Windows 8 app (and an iOS app and an Android app, etc.). It's possible that you can use these even if you aren't running Windows 8 as your operating system.
