hi all ,
i was wondering , what stage in an application startup shall be considered
as a point when the startup has been successfull.

like is it an ok point, when a splash screen is succefully displayed and the
next static screen is displayed, waiting for user input, all ok ?

i mean, what shall be recorded as the application startup sequence for
MEM-01 test, until what stage in application execution, while working with
the testing tool ( AppTest_Lite_1.0.42 )provided at symbiansigned.com

Thanks.

In programming terms, things that happen when you ConstructL() your document
and your appui. Some apps also use ProcessCommandParametersL() to create
objects. In file based apps the things you do in the document's RestoreL()
or OpenFileL().
These methods are called during your app's construction phase, and when the
last one of the ones you implemented returns succesfully, the app is
constructed succesfully, in terms of what you can do about it.

There is also some guidance here in "User guide for Low Memory Tool: " which
you can get from the "TOOL2 - Memory Load" download page on
www.symbiansigned.com. See section 8.2 regarding application steady state.
