I suppose I must begin testing on different devices immediately so break
points can be inserted. Otherwise I'm afraid I'll be far along in
development only to realize I'd have to go backwards causing all kinds
of frustrations.
What are the popular devices ?

Absolutely correct , Christopher ;) Make sure it works at any width
regardless of device and also focus on popular devices. This is the
dichotomy I am faced with every day. When I have control over the
design it tends to be more simple, but working on a team it's never so
straightforward.
Making the site flow perfectly at every width regardless of device is
the ideal I work toward. When I have to rely on MQs and trickier
tricks, I recognize the failure, try to do my best, and test on devices.
It is confusing, you are totally right. The one should make the other
unnecessary, but things are often more complicated. And fun!

I don't have any site analytics, although that probably does help
narrow things down, although you never know who will visit your site
on a device that is not in your analytic.
This is the confusing part Tim :)
You say focus on the most popular devices but be sure your design
works well at any width !

I wouldn't even worry about testing on devices at first. Just resize
your browser until problems arise then add MQ break points to address
those problems. Test on devices based on what information you can
glean from site analytics (if you have them) to be sure things are ok
on those devices. Otherwise just focus on the most popular devices but
be sure your design works well at ANY width. Keep the design as simple
as possible and you will have a much easier job.

In other words I need to test my site on many difference devices until
as you said, the layout looks poor, hence all the mobile testing sites
online. I didn't expect to already begin to need it, I suppose it came
sooner then later !

Get base styles for phone set. Open viewport until layout looks poor
and add a breakpoint/MQ at that point and adjust styles to improve
layout. Repeat.
