Testing

Testing a  product's readiness for localization is all important.

This process is carried out on the localized version of a product based on globalization testing standards, which verifies the functional support for a particular region and checks the quality of a product's localization for the target culture/locale.

Testing should include:

  1.    Basic functionality tests
  2.    Setup and upgrade tests run in the localized environment
  3.    Plan application and hardware compatibility tests
  4.    Advanced functionality testing
  5.    Comprehensive testing
  6.    Validation of all application resources
  7.    Verification of linguistic accuracy and resource attributes
  8.    Consistency checking of printed documentation, online help,
         messages,  interface resources, command-key sequences, etc.
  9.    User interface usability
10.    Assessment of cultural appropriateness

Precision, patience and a meticulous adherence to procedures – eLocalize has already proven in many projects that it has what it takes when it comes to validation and testing requirements.
