TESTING SOLUTIONS that improve product qualityand reduce time to market.

Beyondsoft’s Test-Driven Agile L10N Solution In today’s hyper-competitive marketplace the perfect storm of increased global competition and rapidly changing customer demand combined with the thirst for new technologies like mobility, big data and analytics have driven many companies to migrate their application development projects from the waterfall method to Agile and DevOps. The migration necessitates that, in addition to the development teams, the testing and localization teams must also adapt to Agile’s short sprints of small functional units and faster cycle times, as well as frequent schedule and handoff volume changes, while still delivering consistent product and linguistic quality, as well as cost effectiveness.

At Beyondsoft we believe that migration to Agile does not have to mean higher L10N costs and sacrifices in the quality of service (QoS). With more than 10 years best practices for test driven L10N and experience with over 200 customers, Beyondsoft’s highly flexible, Test-Driven and Lean Agile L10N Solutions consistently deliver high quality L10N.

• Dual-shore Project Management (Time Zone): Streamlines the L10N process for Agile development teams by providing 2 PMs located in complementary time zones to manage the relationships between customers and in-country language agencies.

• Test-Driven (Process Innovation): Integrates the test and L10N processes to optimize workloads and improve efficiency in order to accelerate T2M, and to apply Lean across the entire globalization process so that it maximizes efficacy

during each sprint. This enables in-country translation agencies, linguistic Subject Master Experts and testers to be gradually inserted into the process earlier in the sprint.

• User Experiences Improvement (Side Values): User experience testing in Agile enables evaluation of the effectiveness of each team right from the first sprint. It also enables the quick development of an optimization plan for user experience and cost distribution that can be implemented in subsequent sprints.

• Automation (Efficiency): A browser or Cloud-based Content Management System (CMS) and automation tools deliver seamless, on-time integration of the different roles in each stage of the product globalization cycle.

Our Agile L10N Solution uses a highly customizable Lean process to integrate the test and L10N workflows to facilitate the increased number of handoffs and shorter cycle times. The features include:

Benefits • On-Time Communication: The Lean test and L10N process ensures transparent communications between our PM and our clients because one, single PM drives both the localization and testing schedules.

• Quick Turnaround Time/Faster Time to Market: Localization issues are discovered early in the daily H/B check-in, and time is saved time with Buddy builds and flexible scheduling enabled by Beyondsoft’s integration of localization and testing processes as the single supplier.

• KPI Monitoring: The localization status is monitored via KPIs set up for locales, defect mode and cost distribution.

• Flexibility: The Lean test and L10N solution has the flexibility to change hand-offs and schedules in order to facilitate activities between localization and testing activities.

Our Test-Driven Agile L10N ProcessWe integrate localization and testing efforts to facilitate rapid knowledge sharing, faster bug fixing and cycle time, as well as reduced bug reopen ratio.
