Application testing is a required component of the development process. Every application offered through Nokia sales channels must have Java Verified™ or Symbian Signed certification guaranteeing its integrity. This section provides directions and helpful guidelines to minimise time-to-market through fast, efficient, and easy application testing.

You will also find information about Forum Nokia Technical Support, which offers technical expertise to mobile developers during the application development process. Technical support can be used to solve a specific problem or answer a focused technical question, on a case-by-case basis.
