SIM application development is currently a painful, lengthy process. It does not need to be. Aspects believes it is possible to overhaul that process in order to take the pain out and put the QA in.

This workshop is organised as an interactive study looking at the lifecycle of SIM application development from concept to completion. Participants learn how to perform solid rapid development of SIM Toolkit applications, including answering crucial questions at concept stage, such as which platform to use. You will also learn how to considerably reduce development time throughout the simulated environment stages and dramatically improve QA by using powerful testing techniques in a real card environment.At the end of the session delegates will have gained a thorough understanding of the rapid SIM Application Development process and you will leave armed with the facts on how to improve your own processes and put them into use today!

• Examine concept value proposition
• Select appropriate development and testing tools for specific needs
• Convert the concept into a rapid prototype to demonstrate its validity to stakeholders
• Develop application
• Load applet onto real card
• Test and verify using testing tools
• Encounter errors and debug
• Verify on different handsets
• Conclusion and wrap up
