I worked as a functional QA Tester for Marketplace platform(Similar to Google Play Store, but for users of the Windows Phone operating system). For these tests we used the Nokia Lumia devices. The second project involved only Nokia, and the project was called Nokia Store(Ovi Store).In essence, the test I did was similar to the first project, but this time for Nokia devices with Symbian operating system.
