Towards Improving Automation Support for Internationalization and Localization Testing
Maria Raquel Lopes de Couto, Breno Miranda · 2022
Internationalization (i18n) and localization (l10n) testing are crucial to assure the quality and success of a globalized software since its most common failures are easily noticeable on the user interface for the final users. However, this type of testing is often put aside or performed only at late development stages. Furthermore, there is a lack of studies and empirical evidence on the availability and usage of automated tools for supporting i18n and l10n Testing. This research aims at understanding the state-of-the-art in internationalization and localization testing and, based on our findings, propose and evaluate automated solutions for supporting practitioners.
