But having an application is even better. The iOS barcode scanner in PhoneGap Plugins includes such an application; and a corresponding desktop application you run at the same time. It's been useful. OTOH, there's not much to take away from it - most of the code is barcode scanner specific. > - Each test is presented as a page. > Not sure each test needs a page, but whatever. It should be easy to run the test, and not require constant finger mashing. I kinda see it as a set of paragraphs, each one has a check box at the end "click here if the test passed". Maybe there are some additional controls for each paragraph specific to the test. At the bottom an "All Done" button which gives you your pass/fail summary (green if all ok, red if not all ok). > - Each page asking you to performance a task > - Tablet or Handheld? > - Rotate the device... did it rotate?
