Submission Checklist

To achieve certification for the Motorola iDEN J2ME Capable handsets, you must schedule your test and submit your package to Product Quality Partners/Motorola Application Certification lab. In order to maximize your chances for a successful test result, you are required to run all tests prior to submission.

Deciding What to Submit

You can choose to submit a MIDlet suite application and an individual application simultaneously for a single test submission. This will be priced as a single MIDlet application, with any additional charges for languages or Network Enabled applications. This is advantageous if you would like to market an application as part of a MIDlet suite and also as an individual application. If the MIDlet suite application and the individual application are not submitted together as a single test submission, the applications will be considered as separate submissions and will be subject to a separate test fee for the individual application and the suite applications. For more information, please see the pricing section.

Please note that each carrier may conduct additional requirements and/or certification programs for J2ME applications submitted to the program. In order for your application to be distributed to specific service subscribers, please be sure to comply with carriers programs.

For applications distributed by Nextel, please visit developer.nextel.com for more information.

The submission consists of the following steps:

  1. Fill out the online submission form. See details below...
  2. Once we have received the online submission form, we will confirm your schedule. See details below...
  3. Send all necessary submission items to Quality Partners. See details below... NOTE: Information on late or no shows submissions.

    Send All Necessary Submission Items

    To facilitate in the test process and provide the developer as much necessary time to continue working with their application, software and documentation must be submitted electronically to motorola@qpqa.com. The software and documentation must be sent in the same format that it will be distributed to the public. Typically all electronic components of the submission package are zipped up into a single file for submission.

    The following items are required before we can begin testing the application:

    • A pre-tested candidate of your application by FTP or email.

    • If your application is network enabled, access to data feeds is required. The test account information must already be set up prior to submission and the relevant information (user id and password) must be provided.

    • If your application uses icons, these icons need to be provided as part of the submission package. Note the icons need to be provided in a separate file in addition to being included in the application .jar file.

    • Completion of the online submission form providing contact and product information.

    • Screen shots of your J2ME application, as it would appear on the J2ME application’s web site. Electronic images may be attached as part of the package.

    • A copy of your J2ME application documentation in .PDF or .HTML format ONLY; i.e. User's Guide/Manual. This must be the user documentation targeted for the end user.

    • A copy of the "Support Guide" detailing how to support the application.

    • A copy of the "Translation Document" listing translations of all text strings for each language supported (for international applications only).

    • A copy of the "Traffic Flow Template" (for network applications only).

    • The signed Quality Partners Vendor Software Testing Agreement faxed to +1 925-484-1773. Testing agreements are to be returned only once. Additional certification testing will only require the product addendum to be signed. We will fax this to you upon receipt of the questionnaire.

    • A copy of the test outline or functional specification associated with your application (optional).

    • Payment for the certification testing. See our pricing page to determine fee.
