We use QUICKSTART_HOME for the base directory in the other quickstarts, so it might be more consistent to use the same pattern. If you prefer to keep it in the context of the Eclipse project, could you use PROJECT_HOME instead of `<project-home>`? The &lt; and &gt; imply XML elements and can be a little confusing.

You could also rearrange this section for better flow. Maybe: 

QUnit is a JavaScript unit testing framework used and built by jQuery. This application includes a set of QUnit tests 
that verify the JavaScript that is core to this HTML5 application. Executing QUnit test cases is quite easy. Simply 
load the following HTML in the browser you wish to test. 

    QUICKSTART_HOME/contacts-mobile-basic/src/test/qunit/index.html  (or PROJECT_HOME/src/test/qunit/index.html)

You can also display the tests using the Eclipse built-in browser.  
If you use Chrome there will be a false failure on the date tests.
IE, FireFox, and Safari run the tests correctly.
