Testing a disconnected application
The general testing process for a disconnected mobile interviewing application includes:
▪authoring and activating a personal test project
▪assigning the project to interviewers
▪synchronizing the project
▪running interviews
▪synchronizing the data
▪managing the interviewers
▪analyzing the data.
A testing application is provided, but does not support the entire testing process. The MobileSyncWebService example is used to create the Routing XML and Question XML. The example can also manually create the RespondentData XML, which can be synchronized to allow data to be verified.
To test the RESTfull MobileSyncWebService web service, a simple HTTP request tool can be written to test the URLs. A third-party HTTP debug tool, such as Fiddler, can also be used. The following example was created using Fiddler as the HTTP debug tool.
