Globalization:
Globalization is the process of designing and developing a
software product that functions in multiple
cultures/locales.
A culture/locale is a set of rules and a set of data that
are specific to a given language and geographic area.
Globalization 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 and this
involves integrating localization throughout a company as
well as marketing, sales and support in the world market.
Globalization Testing includes:
->System locale settings
->System Locale
->User Locale
->Input Locale
->Location or Geographic ID
->UI Language
->Browser locale setting.
->Identifying the culture/locale that must be supported.
->Character classification.
->Date and time formatting.
->Numeric, currency, and measure conventions.
->Sorting rules.

The goal of globalization testing is to detect potential

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)
