5/23/2006 - NSTL named authorized testing lab for Motorola Q application testing program 

National Software Testing Labs (NSTL), the world’s leading mobile application, device testing, and certification testing company, today announced that it has been authorized by Motorola to be a test facility for the Motorola Q Application Testing Program.

“By driving the Motorola Q application test criteria, NSTL ensures that the high standards of Motorola are met by third-party applications intended to run on the Q,” said NSTL CEO Lloyd Holder. “The Motorola Q Application Testing Program allows us to further assist mobile application developers in getting their applications optimized for the Motorola Q and to market in the most efficient and cost-effective manner. NSTL is excited to have this opportunity to work with a global leader such as Motorola.”

“We are pleased to be working with NSTL on this program to certify applications on the Motorola Q”, said Christy Wyatt, Motorola’s Vice President of Ecosystem and Market Development. “Our MOTODEV program is dedicated to end to end support for developers globally, and we are thrilled to see companies like NSTL offering support to that vision.”

The Motorola Q program is a testing and evaluation process developed for third party applications that are created specifically for the Motorola Q handset. Applications are measured against an existing set of standards defined by Microsoft’s Mobile2Market certification program with additional test cases specifically designed for the Motorola Q. Once an application completes the testing process, it will be granted the “Designed for Windows Mobile®” designation. The use of the “Designed for Windows Mobile®” logo signifies that the application has met all requirements specific to devices running Microsoft’s Windows Mobile ® 5.0 software in addition to being compatible with the user-interface customization unique to the Motorola Q device.

As part of the testing program, NSTL created a portal to allow developers to submit applications to the program. The portal, testing requirements, and process are all meant to assist developers to get their applications to market quickly.
