A case study of real-world testing

Published:03 December 2008Publication History

ABSTRACT

In this paper we present the results of a real-world test of a mobile application for public transportation, as well as lessons learnt by carrying out the test. By this we contribute with experience and accumulated knowledge to the area of mobile applications for public transportation and to the area of real-life testing. Through the test we learnt a number of lessons related to the application, related concepts, people's behavior in relation to public transportation, and last but not least in relation to our method.
