Re: Testing application engine?

Doing what you describe is commonly called "Unit testing", and should be part of any serious development effort.

There are a few frameworks for unit testing available for symbian.
try google for "symbian unit testing"
Its basically a small program that run "unit tests" which are small code snippets you write with typically a "Setup", "RunTest" and "TearDown" function, to test your engine:s and api:s.
Then you have to write test cases for everything you want to test...
