Testing (17)
That time of the year
The time of Java One. This year I feel things are bit different than in the past. Java Verified has released a new version of the criteria which cuts down the cost of getting an application title signed by 50%. That is out there and has been for a little while....

Fixing out-of-memory issues in Redland RDF libraries
A while ago my Symbian OS based project needed to process RDF data: parse it, store it, query it and serialize it. For that purpose I decided to port a readily available library, and after some browsing around I ended up with Redland RDF libraries . Redland had the...
Mobile software development - Functional testing
Simon Judge's blog made me think, again. He wrote about Mob4Hire , a company offering people for mobile application testing. Testers get paid via PayPal after bidding on projects (i.e. mobile applications/solutions) and developers get testers at a (hopefully)...

Reset S60-3rd emulator defaults

Need to test your app on N81 - check RDA
I was just pointed out that even though N81 is not yet available at stores, it is available in RDA (Remote Device Access), so you can test your app on that new phone for free in there. Yes, there are some limitations in the service (no SIM cards on many of the phones,...
More about RDA

RDA: S60 vs. Series 40
Hello, We are internally wondering the importance of adding Series 40 devices to RDA (you know, the service which allows you to access devices over the Internet, www.forum.nokia.com/rda). What do you think? Should we also support Series 40 or just stick with S60 support?...
Future changes in Symbian Signed -process
Take a look at this post at Symbian's developer forum and especially the chapter describing new "Express signing" process. This looks like an improvement that at least I have been waiting for - it is a cheaper way to get applications signed and what's often more important,...

Prompt user at uninstall, ok or not?
We have successfully got an application Symbian Signed and we had to to make a minor change to the application (add one setting field, to be exact). OK, no problem. We change the application, prepare it for Symbian Signing, get the quotations and select the test house....
Is AppTest Lite worth it?
I had a chat about the AppTest Lite application, which is a free application helping to assure that the application passes the Symbian Signed testing. The chat was not really reassuring that we have done something right, even all our attentions were good with AppTest Lite....
Any views on the test houses?
Wanna stir up some discussion about test houses in Java Verified and Symbian Signed. Please bear in mind that I will only publish constructive comments, the rest will remain between you and me... I don't want to discuss pricing. As any cost is too much anyways. And my dream...
