Detailed Service Description

PowerPort[P^2] Porting
==================

Over the years, The Porting Lab has developed and evolved a suite of proprietry tools and processes that are collectively known as PowerPort[P^2].

The PowerPort[P^2] suite, coupled with our strategic location in India, and with overseas partnerships giving us access to USA, Canada and Europe networks, allows us to offer per-port efficiencies and prices un-heard of in the market.

All ported delivery builds are hardware tested across actual devices in phone families to ensure compatibility and 100% workability. BREW ports are NSTL certified, and J2ME ports can be Java Verified. Ports can even be carried out across devices within the same language or cross-platform, example: J2ME to BREW.

The PowerPort[P^2] suite coupled with our strategic location in India allows us to offer per-port efficiencies and prices un-heard of in the market.

Our growing team of Porting Engineers are well versed in porting to a large number of devices, and have collectively executed projects culminating to over 5000 device ports.

QA and Device Testing Services
=========================

The Porting Lab offers QA and Device Testing services clubbed in as a part of the porting services, or as a separate service module for mobile development companies looking to test workability of their content on actual hardware mobile devices. The QA/Device Testing processes form an integral part of the PowerPort[P^2] Suite of tools and processes.

Our in-house QA/Testing process follows over 300 test cases spanning over 5 different layers in a well defined QA cycle. In addition, we work with Clients to define any specific customized test cases, if required for final acceptance certification - or as part of an independant QA/Testing Project.

Talk to us, if you are looking to outsource your QA and Device Testing needs.
