Test automation
Faced with constant time to market pressures and the ever-increasing demands on the quality front, companies are on the look out for ways and means to improve testing productivity without compromising on coverage. Hence automation of test suites assumes great importance in the IT and product industries. However, despite the myriad of tools available in the market, this is easier said than done. Firstly, it is important to set clear business goals for automation and work towards creating a detailed automation strategy and plan. Secondly, it is also important to conduct feasibility & viability study that helps in understanding how much automation can be done and whether it is worth doing the same or not by computing the RoI. Last but not the least; a tool selection exercise needs to be carried out followed by a proof of concept of the selected tool.

Certification testing
Wipro provides logo certification testing for various software majors. Logo certification indicates that a third party software product provides all the features as outlined in the logo certification guidelines provided by the software vendor.

The objective of Logo certification testing is to make sure that products (applications) developed by ISVs have full functionality, that the logo requirements are met and that the product is not generating frequent faults or system crashes. This testing, however, would not constitute a "quality assurance” seal and would not imply that the product is bug- free.

Wipro will ‘certify’ third party applications based on various benchmarks as decided by the software major. This certification will ensure that the applications developed by ISVs are fully functional on software vendor’s hardware and software platform.

Another theme of certification testing engagement could possibly be WHQL certification which certifies that the drivers for Microsoft Windows platforms comply with WHQL standards.

Windows product family remediation and testing
Wipro undertakes testing of Windows based applications for compatibility to a specific operating environment and optionally remediate the application if required in order to make it compatible. Wipro uses Exploratory testing and OS interaction testing methodology for the above purpose. This approach is particularly useful when there is little or no prior knowledge about the application to perform traditional testing. Wipro has successfully used this methodology to help customers migrate to a newer common operating environment which requires existing applications to be certified compatible or remediated to render them compatible to the new operating environment.

Localization translates the product UI and occasionally changes some initial settings to make it suitable for another region. Localization testing checks the quality of a product's localization for a particular target culture/locale.

	Functional verification testing
	Multi-Lingual operating system verification
	Translation verification testing
	Setup and upgrade tests run in the localized environment
	Plan application and hardware compatibility tests according to the product's target region
