Globalization testing is nothing but to test all the 
activities based on the Standareds like ISO, SEI-CMM, CMMI 
and Six Segma.

The Meaning of Globalization is the whole globe is treated 
as one.
When it comes to Testing Few Applications will be 
developped in different Languages. We need to test the 
application for all the different  languages for eg: 
English, French,Chienes etc. This is what is Globalization 
testing.

Testing to ensure if the application works in all parts of 
the world

The goal of globalization testing is to detect potential 
problems in application design that could inhibit 
globalization. It makes sure that the code can handle all 
international support without breaking functionality that 
would cause either data loss or display problems. 
Globalization testing checks proper functionality of the 
product with any of the culture/locale settings using every 
type of international input possible.

developing the application in multiple languages is known 
as globalization. testing these kind of application is 
called as globalization testing.

simillarly, testing the application with respect to the 
country standards like currency, pincode, telephone num.. 
etc  is known as localization testing.

Globalization Testing is validating a specific Application 
or Product that can support multiple languages or that can 
be accessed by different Locales around the Globes.

developing the application in one languages and giving link
to other language is known as globalization. testing these
kind of application is called as globalization testing.

simillarly, testing the application with respect to the 
country standards like currency, pincode, telephone
num..Date format,colour,etc  is known as localization testing.

The goal of globalization testing is to detect potential 
problems in application design that could inhibit 
globalization. It makes sure that the code can handle all 
international support without breaking functionality that 
would cause either data loss or display problems. 
Globalization testing checks proper functionality of the 
product with any of the culture/locale settings using every 
type of international input possible.

Proper functionality of the product assumes both a stable 
component that works according to design specification, 
regardless of international environment settings or 
cultures/locales, and the correct representation of data.

The following must be part of your globalization-testing 
plan:

Decide the priority of each component
To make globalization testing more effective, assign a 
testing priority to all tested components. Components that 
should receive top priority: 

Support text data in the ANSI (American National Standards 
Institute) format 
Extensively handle strings (for example, components with 
many edit controls) 
Use files for data storage or data exchange (e.g., Windows 
metafiles, security configuration tools, and Web-based 
tools) 
Have had many globalization problems in the past

testing the application for multiple languages using 
property files. this type of testing is done for multiple 
lanuages using suffix and prefix. this type of testing is 
called internationalization(I18N)testing

testing the application as per country standard is called 
localization (L10N) testing eg. pincode, std code , currancy
