RUBRIC DEVELOPS TESTING TOOL TO IMPROVE LOCALIZATION QA

Monday, February 22, 1999

Rubric has announced the development of rcTest™, its newly developed testing tool that improves localization quality assurance. The application enables localization QA testers to implement a high degree of consistency and to record testing procedures and results thoroughly throughout the testing process. Rubric's tool facilitates complex localization projects, such as for enterprise-class, multi-platform software products.

The main purpose of rcTest™ is to provide consistent quality of testing through the standardization of localization testing procedures. Localization testing involves an extensive array of variables. Maintaining consistency across different platforms, screen resolutions, and user options is critical to the success of a localization project. Testing parameters using rcTest™ are extensive, including testing for hot-key conflicts, undersized controls, and non-performing controls. In addition, they include thorough QA checks of the UI via both mouse and keyboard-driven tasks.

A key benefit of rcTest™ is in its recording, tracking, and reporting capabilities. The tool manages test results in a standardized, streamlined, and easy-to-use manner, thus enabling greater thoroughness and accuracy in testing.
