3. Summary

The first mobile interop testing was a success. We learned a couple of things. First, we need to ensure we are located in a facility that has good cell coverage. The room we occupied had occasional issues with cell phone coverage. The best approach would be to test rooms we will be utilizing prior to starting the event so we can ensure we have adequate coverage.

The other thing we determined was the test scenario document has too many items to test in two days. We are not even sure we can test everything within three days. What was done this time was the vendors chose to test specific items from each group in an effort to try to cover as much as possible. For future testing, we may choose to break down the testing into specific areas. In other words, we may test section one during one event, section two during the next event, and so on. Or we may determine which items are the most critical to testing, and focus on them during the next events. This will be decided before the next Mobile interoperability test event is held.

Our thanks to the participating vendors.
