Supporting Localization Testing through Automated Application Navigation
Abstract
Software testing is necessary to ensure the delivery of a functional product characterized by high quality and reliability. This requires effort to develop a product with minimal issues. To ensure a positive user experience across diverse cultures, countries, and languages, the execution of Localization (l10n) and Internationalization (i18n) tests becomes imperative. Nevertheless, there is not much support of automated tools for this type of testing. This research aims to propose and evaluate automated solutions for supporting internationalization and localization testing.References
