New VZAppZone applications are required to pass a suite of tests, including:
- No Harm to Network (NHtN)
- Over-the-Air (OTA)
- Functionality Tests
The program compliance requirements are geared towards verifying that the mobile application's transmissions do not jeopardize the stability of the Verizon Wireless network and that the application is functionally sound. Some of these tests must be paid for by the application developer, while others will be paid for by Verizon Wireless. The test requirements and plans are available for download, and it is strongly recommended that developers perform pre-testing using the supplied criteria. Test results are submitted to Verizon Wireless for review and final issue determination. In the case of failures, it is the responsibility of the developer to perform bug fixes and resubmit, or to withdraw support for that application/platform/handset.
