Globalization Testing

The need for reaching out to different markets in their specific locales has become critical for business expansion with companies going global.

Software product enterprises are under increasing pressure to release products simultaneously in all languages and different platforms, while improving quality and reducing time to market. Multilingual and multi platform releases of software products have become key elements to the success of any global business strategy. The need to globalize IT applications is also felt among enterprises to adapt their internal systems to global employees and customers.  

Globalization – G11N (Internationalization (i18N) + Localization (L10N)) is the first and most important step to take your products and applications to the world.

MindTree has helped several customers, such as Microsoft, Concur, Success Factors, globalize their products and applications thereby helping them expand their business reach.

MindTree Globalization Methodology

MindTree Globalization methodology starts from auditing the level of internationalization of the product to creating a strategy for Globalization, Internationalization, Localization and Localization maintenance.

This methodology is flexible and is adaptable for both new product / application development as well as an established product / application. The methodology is flexible to companies which are in the initial or advanced stages of Globalization. MindTree testing experts are involved at each phase of this methodology to create Globalization strategy and execute the testing.

While ad-hoc internationalization and localization may satisfy immediate need for localization, its extension to multiple locales is not cost-effective and requires an integrated strategy. Hence, MindTree recommends its customers to align the Globalization testing with their software development lifecycle.
