Globalization Testing
Globalization is the term used to describe the process of
producing software that can be run independent of its geographical and cultural
environment. Localization is the term used to describe the process of
customizing the globalized software for a specific environment. For simplicity,
the term “globalization” will be used to describe both concepts, for in the
broadest sense of the term, software is not truly globalized unless it is
localized as well.
There are lot aspects that must be considered when producing
globalized software. Some of the aspects are as follows:
- Sensitivity to the English vocabulary
- Date and time formatting
- Currency handling
