The following list outlines the most common reasons why applications fail in Nokia tests.
Help is missing.
About is missing or does not include the required information (developer's name, application name, application version, end-user support contact information).
The application has inconsistent or faulty version numbering and naming.
Rapid pushing of certain buttons creates difficulties in the application, which leads to crashes or jams.
The application's dialogs, interaction, controls, UI layout, and so on, are inconsistent or not in accordance with the style guides.
Various difficulties arise when the application is working with low memory (this usually occurs when several applications are running simultaneously). Such situations often end in crashes or jams.
The application is unable to choose its destination (alias drive C: or D: or E:).
Startup takes too long.
The application does not pause during interrupting operations, for example, an incoming phone call. (Of course, this is not necessary for all types of applications.)
The application is so large that installation is extremely time-consuming (tens of minutes) or it allocates a gigantic portion of the memory.
The application's strings are longer than the allocated spaces, making parts of them invisible to the user.
The error notes are incomplete.
