Deployment of Globalised Wireless Internet Applications

Key Points

Presentation Abstract

This session will cover the test challenges facing wireless application developers as they integrate their solutions with those provided by traditional application service providers. It will include an overview of the changing technologies, and focus on key areas of testing needed for these mobile solutions. A case study will be presented that illustrates the full range of testing needed for a mobile device (with a microbrowser) in Brazil that is accessing on-line banking information in Japan. For this example, we will consider functionality and compatibility issues, as well as the consequences if the application is not internationalised/ localised
