Review the Contents Before Submission

After you have tested your application, you need to review or audit it before uploading your certification project. This review takes about an hour . Many candidates have failed because they omitted a piece or simply placed a file in the wrong spot, so don't allow silly mistakes to rob you of certification. Make sure you review your JAR contents before clicking that upload button at the CertManager site.

Although you don't need to be quite as thorough as the outline of the IEEE standard 1028-1988, "Standard for Software Reviews and Audits" (http://standards.ieee.org/reading/ieee/std_public/description/se/), look it over and use the parts that will help you make sure your project submission is absolutely complete:
