Submission Guidelines
Fanfare customers and partners are encouraged to develop and submit iTest applications and test assets. If you are interested in providing a submission to the iTest App Store, please follow the specifications listed here. If you have any questions about the submission process, please email the App Store Administrator.
iTest Application Submission Specifications
iTest applications that are based on Eclipse (i.e. those developed using the iTest SDK) should be submitted as an Eclipse update site in the form of a zipped (.zip) file. (Information on creating an Eclipse update site can be found here on the Eclipse wiki.)
If you are developing an iTest application that isn't based on Eclipse, please contact the App Store Administrator early in your development process to discuss the appropriate deliverables.
The following information must be provided along with the application files:
- Signed App Store Community Author Agreement
- Name of the application
- Name of the application developer(s)
- General description of the application
- Instructions for use of the application
- Known issues or limitations of the application
- Compatible iTest versions
- Any other compatibility information or system requirements
The following items are optional:
- Sample application icon
- Screenshots of the application
- Sample iTest files that show example usage of the application (session profile, test case, etc.)
iTest Asset Submission Specifications
iTest assets should be submitted in the form of a zipped (.zip) file.
The following must be provided along with the asset files:
- Signed App Store Community Author Agreement
- Name of the device manufacturer and/or specific device type
- Name of the asset contributor(s)
- General description of the test assets
- Compatible iTest versions
- Any other compatibility information or system requirements
Submission Process
All required files and information should be submitted via email to the App Store Administrator.
Approval Process
Once a submission has been received, it will undergo Fanfare's quality review process to ensure that it contains no harmful code and to verify that it functions properly and meets the Fanfare guidelines. This process typically takes 1-3 weeks, but can take longer if information is missing or if quality issues are encountered.
Note: If the application or test assets integrate with a third-party component, the submitter should be prepared to provide Fanfare with access to the necessary systems or software that will be required to perform validation testing.
Deployment Process
After a submission has been approved, Fanfare will provide the following:
- Application or asset icon, professionally designed according to the iTest App Store design specs
- Dedicated information page on the iTest App Store
- Hosting of the downloadable application file
- Integration of test asset files into Fanfare's public source control repository
- Dedicated support discussion board
