Quick Testing Tip:Blackberry Mobile Application Testing

Sharing with you just a small tip which I just came to know while testing a mobile application on Blackberry Curve.Actually i was just testing my application tvider and was facing with some exceptions.However when I was just about to log A issue I was always in fond answer of question “What was that exception(crash) text exactly???”

And literally after few days I got to know very interesting thing.

Whenever you face any exception on your Blackberry device and you just have to take a look on that issue and also you need to have some information about it,just hold Alt key on your blackberry and type lglg .

By this you are navigated to a page where all the exception/warning your app may have undergone.

Basically this is called event log screen.

You can also get information about that exception here.

This tip has helped me,I hope it will help you too!!!! :)

    Hey Guys..

    The above tip is good..

    But we have something called Black berry JDE (Java development environment) which allows to get complete logs and it will be helpful for analyzing the crash and wat not..!

    Hope this Helps..!
