MindTree Testing Services for Retail Industry

Changing consumer psychology, blurring of retail segments & channels, and supply chain globalization continuously pose challenges to retailers. Customer centricity has replaced operational efficiency as the key strategy for most retailers. Consequently, business dynamics create a need to integrate multiple and complex external systems with the existing in-house applications for a holistic experience. These needs along with many others are driving development of sophisticated and complex retail solutions with minimal margin for errors. Hence, independent testing of these applications is critical and also beset with multiple challenges. Some key testing challenges that would need to be addressed are as follows:

• End-to-end process flow validation from a user’s perspective
• Successful validation of:
  • Large and complex inventory management applications built on myriad platforms
  • Enterprise POS systems and its integrations
  • Multiple non integrated back-end systems responsible for order fulfillment process
• Validation of business critical applications with  minimal downtime provisions resulting in high emphasis on performance issues of application
• Integration of the application with newer channels and third party devices/systems
• Reduced testing timelines due to aggressive time to market schedules
• Value based cost effective testing with reduced investments on commercial tools and hardware infrastructure
