Author Testing a Smartphone 2003 application

Hi all - i would appreciate if anyone knows of any good (free) tools to test
an applciation written in C# for a windows mobile 2003 smartphone.

I am already aware of the Hopper tool for stress testing (Microsoft
Powertoy) are there any others?

Does anyone have any other pointers for smartphone 2003 testing.

Thanks in advance.
David

Greetings David - There is another stress test 'framework' posted to the
"Hopper Doctor" blog that may suit your needs better than Hopper. If you
were more specific in regards to how you want your app tested, then we might
be more helpful.

You can check it out here:

Thanks Steven. Having never written any Smartphone applications before i
was unsure how to test it properly other than using black/white box testing
to ensure i had met all the specifications and that the code i had written
did what it was suppposed to. My application is a simple location-aware
application which uses GSM CellID to provide the location details. The
application is written in C# and uses a C++ dll to get the CellID from the
Smartphone (this requires a privileged signing certificate).

Having seen the hopper Power Toy i decided to give it a go, it worked fine
but since the hopper tool did not spend all its execution in the specified
applciation it was difficult to test for long periods of time. The tests i
did conduct did not cause the applciation to crash but i am unsure what else
the results from the log-files can be used to show.

Thanks,
David
