A Test Automation Harness for the PocketPC

The emergence of the handheld platform is an exciting opportunity to reapply quality and usability paradigms. It gives us the chance to establish new, industrywide quality benchmarks for handheld applications that may propel society beyond the traditional human-machine interface. Handheld-based computing has its potential-and its limits. When moving from desktop-centered quality assurance to handheld-centered applications, there will be changes that affect software testing techniques. We must be prepared. This session covers the basics of handheld automation, details what's needed before designing test automation, and demonstrates a repository for tests designed for the PocketPC.
