As part of its continued global expansion Elektrobit has announced the availability of its Wireless SW Test Factory in Beijing, China. For the company’s customers the test factory will provide comprehensive and well-processed software testing services across the entire lifecycle of mobile terminal development. The facility consolidates the mobile phone software testing competence inside Elektrobit, providing one-stop, best-cost testing services from requirement verification early in the project, to integration and system testing as the code evolves.


The test factory provides a customer oriented, repeatable, traceable, fast, 24 hour mobile phone software testing service utilizing modern communication, error database, version control, test automation tools and reusable test case libraries combined with well defined software and test processes. Examples of services available include: basic acceptance testing, functional testing, release testing, regression testing, non-functional testing, e.g. reliability and stress testing, and custom-defined test types based on execution of UI level test cases.

"With our new SW test factory and the new service concept we are able to offer fast, reliable and cost-competitive test services to OEMs," said Arto Pietilä, Elektrobit Group's executive vice president, contract R&D business unit. "The site further enhances our wide offering built around the S60 platform and the upcoming 3G Reference phone."
