Globalization Testing: This type of testing validates whether the application is capable for using all over the world and to check whether the input accepts all the language texts.
Localization Testing: This type of testing validates whether the application is capable for using in a particular location or in a particular country.
For Example, take a Zip code field in sign up form,
a) If the application is globalized then it will allow to enter alphanumeric inputs
b) If the application is localized (if it is INDIA) then it will allow to enter only numbers.
This is the purpose and use of globalization and localization testing.

ReplyDeleteI like your post and localization testing is done not only for software but also for website as well. Large website of multinational companies need to be accessible to a large variety of people.
