Palm Powered (tm) Logo Certification Program 		How Quality Partners Adds Value

Combined with an efficient test lab setup and test processes, Quality Partners testers have years of embedded systems technology and testing experience specifically on the Palm OS® platform. Quality Partners also has many years of experience in administering certification/compliance programs, including great internal support for the program. We will communicate with the developers via email on a regular basis throughout their test cycle to update them on their test progress and any issues that arise. This all translates into quality testing for the Licensing Community within a communicative and organized program.

Special Test Offer! - Extended QP QA Test option

The Extended QP QA Test option is a formal full test pass of your product. This option provides additional testing not included as part of the certification testing. This option is particularly valuable to those companies without a QA department and/or a QA department that is resource constrained. Experienced Quality Partners test engineers execute tests including:

  • Functionality testing of the application (standard with full product test).

  • Error handling testing (standard with full product test).

  • Stress testing (standard with full product test).

  • Documentation testing (if included with product).

  • Compatibility testing (standard with full product test).

  • Usability tests (if requested by the Licensee).

  • Performance testing (if requested by the Licensee).

  • Competitive Analysis (if requested by the Licensee).

  • Regression testing (standard with full product test).

The cost of the Extended QP QA Test option is based on a special reduced QP hourly rate. Licensees participating in the Extended QP QA test option will receive priority queuing when submitting for certification tests. In addition, Licensees will receive the certification testing at discounted rate if no new features or modifications have been added. Scheduling testing must occur with a minimum of two weeks advance notice.
