NSG Third-party Application Compatibility Standard Test Cases

-------------------------------------------------------------



In NSG's Quality Assurance group we routinely test third-party software

against the Newton OS as it is enhanced and evolved.



Below are brief descriptions of a series of tests that we run on these

products to uncover possible compatibility problems with our OS and with

the third-party products.



These particular tests are selected to identify compatibility bugs. They DO

NOT represent a full application test suite. We believe that a great many

more tests are required to confirm an app's specific functionality. You can

use this list, along with the information in other SQA documents on this

CD, as a starting point for creating, or enhancing, your own suite of

application test cases.



To use these tests you should define the basic configuration for each test

and the steps to execute it, taking into consideration your company's

development practices and your app's specific functions.



After running each test you can record a simple PASS/FAIL for reference

during future (e.g. regression, etc.) testing. Failed tests can also result

in creating a bug report for your internal bug tracking system.
