Industry-driven Testing Initiative for Java™ Technology-based Applications for Mobile Devices

The Unified Testing Initiative (UTI) is a cooperative effort with the purpose of streamlining mobile Java application testing into one single program to benefit the industry and the different interested parties in the eco system. The members to this initiative is today ACCESS, LG Electronics, Motorola, Nokia, Orange, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Sun Microsystems and Vodafone Group.

As a cooperative effort, the UTI is open to new members throughout the mobile Java ecosystem. Members may come from the ranks of mobile device manufacturers, wireless network operators, Java technology providers, publishers/developers, managed service providers, and other firms with interests in furthering the success of the mobile Java technology platform.

The UTI has developed specific testing requirements related to the operating characteristics of Java applications for mobile devices such as handsets. These testing requirements are known as the Unified Testing Criteria   The goal of the UTI is to grow supply and demand for mobile Java applications by driving the development, promotion and distribution of high-quality mobile applications for the Java platform. This will be achieved by providing a comprehensive test battery — defined by mobile Java ecosystem constituents— against which mobile Java developers can test their applications.
