The Amazon Clinic Team will design and build a testing apparatus to verify the performance of tablets and mobile devices. The apparatus’ primary application is to verify the appropriate software responses of the Amazon Bookstore on an Amazon Kindle Fire. This apparatus will execute programmed tests autonomously with high precision for extended periods of time and indicate whether a device has passed or failed a given test.
