  4. TELECOMMUNICATIONSymbian • Innovative intelligent applications • Solutions to support the communication between mobile devices and various enviroments • Symbian solutions • Exploiting the technologies of Series 60 platforms, e.g. Bluetooth communication with the devices in surroundings • MONA: Motion detecting application • GINA: Password controlled data security application • Symbian Platinum Partner • Nokia Forum Pro Member Jussi Niutanen

  5. What is Testing? • "Testing is the process of executing a • program or system with the intent of • finding errors." (Myers 1979) • “Testing is the process of establishing • confidence that a program or system • does what it is supposed to.“ (Hetzel, • 1973) • Operating a system under specified • conditions, observing or recording the • result, and making an evaluation of • some aspect of the system (IEEE, 1990) Specified functionality Implemented functionality Tested functionality [Jo02] Jussi Niutanen

  6. Testing Symbian Applications • Number of phones, platforms etc. • Different types of UI • Sometimes it is impossible to test • automatically • GPRS applications • Microphone • Voice quality • Changes during the devolopment Jussi Niutanen

  7. The Evaluation Process Jussi Niutanen

  8. The Five Generations of Testware Development [FeGr99] • Linear test scripts • Sructured test scripts • Shared test scripts • Data driven test scripts • Keyword-driven test sripts • What means action word testing? Jussi Niutanen

  9. Verification Example in 6630 • Test result is a picture that depends on: • Day • Time • Is sim card inserted • Is phone connected with USB • Language Jussi Niutanen

  10. System Testing Tools • Nokia Testing Suite • Try (Mobileinnovations) • AppTest (Digia) • QTP & m-Test (Mercury) • Pro Script Recorder (TestQuest) • STS Master (Strategic Test Solutions) Jussi Niutanen

  11. Unit Testing Tools • Eunit (Digia) • TestFrame example (Nokia SDK) • Symbian OS Unit (open source) • QTP & m-Test (Mercury) • Simple driver to one project Jussi Niutanen

  12. Summary • Automation must be done as a project • Generation and verification Jussi Niutanen
