A Web-Based Application to Verify Open Mobile Alliance Device Management Specifications

In this paper, we describe the implementation of a Web-based application supported by SyncML protocol, which is able to execute management operations in different kind of devices. This application is characterized by a set of management options, in order to test and verify whether specific mobile devices implement Open Mobile Alliance(OMA) specifications. The elements that compose our Web-based application, have been designed taking into account requirements derived from different kind of operations executed in mobile devices. We have also defined a set of tests, that provide a suitable way to establish whether a specific device supports device management operations according to OMA specifications. The lack of both available code and reliable applications for device management was an important motivation for our work.
