When a program or application carries the 100% Pure Java^TM logo, potential users know it's been thoroughly tested for cross-platform compatibility and portability. The great advantage for developers, system integrators, and end users lies in the Java^TM brand promise to "Write Once, Run Anywhere^TM."

How Does the Certification Process Work?

It's a two-part process -- Assurance, and Verification. The developer does an Assurance test, using the JavaPureCheck^TM Tool -- a tool provided with the 100% Pure Java program. When the product passes Assurance testing, it's ready to be submitted to an independent testing facility for Verification testing.
