About the Project:
The client requested us to carry out Japanese language independent testing for their newly designed software. This Japanese testing combining standard testing tasks with some linguistic activities.

Challenges:
Language tester needs to do the testing and report bugs into client’s software defect database. Access and training will be provided by client’s software engineer.
The tasks for language tester are required in the below:

1. Obvious wrong translation – for sure limited by linguistic knowledge of a non-linguist

2. Truncations – for sure there where clear

3. Mismatch terminologies in multiple areas ( ex. menu and dialog have different translation ) – for sure when we look at a dialog level only (not across products)

4. Unappreciable translation for the area where string appear –as long as we’re taking into account expected background of testers.

CCJK Solution:
1. We carefully selected a Japanese language tester for this project. The tester has rich experience in Japanese localization. He was aware of all types of localization defects.

2. The client created a plan including all necessary info for testing. The Plan contains: Overall scope together with testing estimates; Supported platforms required for testing; ”Easy to follow” test cases separated into various scenarios. In this case, the tester can try to install the builds and play a bit with the software products.

3. Before stating the project, we organized one week training for our language tester with the great support of engineers.

4. We carefully read and followed the client’s instructions of the entire testing project step by step. The tester successfully performed the testing according to Test Cases in the Plan. Completed the result column in Plan with (PASS/FAIL) and add the comments. Summarized the defects found on a daily basis and send the defect report to client in forms of XLS sheet.
