Harry Li published a post on his Forum Nokia blog which discusses a testing trick on Symbian and Mozilla, and he also gives a code sample and a config file sample to show his method.

“Probably all Unix gurus like the powerful shell script, and it is commonly used for testing purpose. In NSS the test cases are all called by several complex shell scripts, and there is a very flexibility to extend usage of these tests caller scripts. Unluckily we don’t have a shell script executing environment on Symbian OS. But I was borrowing ideas of this testing method, by writing a console application and treat it as the main body to coordinate all test cases.”
