This document describes the Java Verified Program. This program accepts applications from developers, tests the applications using the tests defined in the Unified Testing Criteria for Java(TM) Technology-based Applications (“Test Criteria”) document, signs and certifies them and optionally submits them to catalogs. The program and the development of the Test Criteria were sponsered by: Motorola Inc., Nokia Corporation, Siemens AG mobile, Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB and Sun Microsystems Inc (“UTI Members”). The sponsors have agreed on a process and a set of test criteria that are appropriate for applications developed for use on mobile handset devices manufactured by Motorola, Nokia, Siemens mobile and Sony Ericsson.

This document is to give developers an overview of the program, the steps involved and what is required of the developer. This document is meant to be used in conjuction with the Test Criteria document.

This document describes a process that tests the static and operating characteristics of a Java application that runs on mobile devices such as handsets. The categories of tests include application launch, usability, operation, etc. The document does not address the following:
● Content censorship (i.e. assessment against standards for violence, gambling, political messaging etc.) for the purpose of preventing the deployment or sale of an application. However, see section 1.3, Application Content, for a discussion on how the specification’s sponsors can deny an application the use of the Java logo.
● Distribution, DRM etc.
● Testing requirements specific to a particular manufacturer’s (or network operator’s) device, user interface, and standards (e.g. WAP) implementation.
