The announced new edition support by Digia will bring the easiness of testing and measuring of Series 60 software development and integration to a completely new level, by enabling the Series 60 licensees to take full advantage of Digia®Quality Kit in their latest and upcoming phone platform development programs. The new version of the Digia®Quality Kit is targeted towards smartphone manufacturers utilising Series 60 Platform in their product creation and hence strongly supports Series 60 offering. The new version of the Digia®Quality Kit will fully support the latest Symbian OS and Series 60 3rd Edition related platform security modifications, EKA2 as well as the scalable UI.

Digia's platform support aims at providing the Series 60 licensees and their development partners with a reliable and widely accepted tool for their upcoming product development; enabling better controllability of project, uniform development practices and, of course, the ability to create automated testing environments. This will result in strong productivity gains for all types of smartphone software creation and project development based on the new edition of the Series 60 Platform.

Digia CTO, Mr. Kai Tulonen, says "Digia®Quality Kit will now be able to ease the Series 60 licensees' burden related to the testing of phone platform programs and to their integration work, by automating large portion of these tests. The support of Series 60 3rd Edition is a milestone for enlarging our new service offering to terminal manufacturers. As a Series 60 Platform Competence Center, Digia supports Series 60 offering by acting as a complete software solution provider and systems integrator for the handset manufacturers utilising the Series 60 Platform."
