The biggest challenge for mobile game and application developers is the porting and testing. Unlike the other gaming devices, in mobile gaming there are around 650+ devices that support J2ME. Porting to a good number of devices is a must for developers to reach global audience. Smackall Studios offers a cost effective and high quality porting and testing services for leading developers.

Porting:

• J2ME Porting. (Midp 1 and Midp 2)
• Cross platform Porting. (J2ME to Brew and Brew to J2ME)
• Operator specific Porting. (Cingular, Vodafone, T-Mobile, Orange, Rogers, Sprint, FIDO, Nextel, Telus, Rogers, Alltel, etc)
• Flashlite and Symbian Porting.

Each mobile handset released which supports J2ME has a reference emulator for the developer to test his application or a game. But from our past experience in mobile game development, emulators can only be trusted for 10% of assurance. Most leading publishers and developers go for real device testing for their mobile games. Smackall Studios offers a cost effective real device testing with OTA support and gives a Quality Assurance (QA) service for mobile game testing.

Testing:

• Functionality Testing
• Environmental Testing
• Performance Testing
• OTA Testing

Porting is making changes to software to make it run on different environment. In mobile game development, porting is the most important phase where the game has to run on a large number of models and has to cover most new models to get through the market. Since we also develop games and know the difficulty of other mobile game developers, we offer a service for porting games.

Testing a mobile application or game is mandatory to ensure, there is no crash or inconvenience for players. To test a game, it is not enough to do it on emulators and not all devices have emulators. Testing a game on real devices is not possible for all developer. Smackall.com provides a cheap mobile application testing service. We provide UTC standard reports on each device test.
