Parts of Globalization testing

Internationalization(I18N)

Localization (L10N)













Jan Scherpenhuizen = Jan S12N








About I18N

• Internationalization, or I18N, is the process of generalizing a product so that multiple languages and cultural conventions without the need for re-design.

• Internationalization takes place at the level of program design.













About L10N

• Localization, L10N, involves taking a product and making it linguistically and

appropriate to the target locale (country/region and language) where it will sold.

Part-2: Understanding different componeGlobalization Testing









#1. Testing Unicode implementation

U i d Cl Th B i









Unicode Clean- The Basics• Unicode provides a unique number for every character,

no matter what the platform,no matter what the program,no matter what the language.

• Journey from Code Pages to Unicode.

• Unicode numbers are given in four hex digits preceded by U+, so “A”; is U+00representation).

• Tibetan Om• U+0F00

• DEVANAGARILETTER JHA

• U+091D

•

•

T t Id ifi t “U i d ”






























Test Ideas specific to “Unicode”• Does the Application support all possible extended characters and text script

in multi-byte languages like Korean, Japanese and Chinese ?• Are multi-byte file and fonder names. File contents and other such data parse

viewed and Saved correctly ?• Multi Byte Characters handling-

– Overlapping Characters – Text Selection – Text Deletion

• Filtering and Searching

Double Byte characters handling Overlap

























Double Byte characters handling- Overlapcharacters (legacy Applications)

-Special consideration to double byte languages.

-Overlapping characters are the values that can be mapped to more than ondepending upon the context in the which they are used (Single byte or D

-Example: - ASCII value 0x5C- The value 0x5C is mapped to backslash character in single byte contex- The value 0x5C is used in several Japanese characters (double byte) a

byte of a two-byte character.- Japanese representation of double byte text is “Yen” symbol.

-If a program recognizes the 0x5C value as a backslash, it may cause issues wbyte languages.

Double Byte characters handling - Text se


























Double Byte characters handling - Text se(legacy Applications)

-Proper handling of double byte characters during the character selection operat

-Improper handling of double byte characters during the character selection ope

- When the cursor is moved to the left instead of moving to the beginning of byte character it is placed in between the lead and trail bytes.

Double Byte characters handling - Text de
















Double Byte characters handling Text de(legacy Applications)

- This is an example of incorrect handling of double byte characters during thdeletion. Note that after deletion only trial byte is deleted and not the lead

- Now with the delete key at the start of the string. The lead byte has beendeleted leaving the trail byte(¥).

- Always treat the lead and trailing byte of a double-byte character code as onunit

Filtering and Searching
















Filtering and Searching

- Searching usually has to be performed manually each time. Filters are predsearches within a program.

-Some times programs do not take care of accented characters properly e.g.for word- “Word” the program might return- Wörd, Wòrd as well.

-Filtering and Searching of a Localized program must take care of foreigntext/International characters properly.

Unicode specific bugs


















Unicode specific bugs

Questions to clarify before testing “Unico









Questions to clarify before testing Unico• Which languages does your Application Support ?• Is there a requirement to test the localized characters beyond the languages

already supported ?•

Is the Application Unicode Clean ?• If the Application is not Unicode Clean, then what parts of the Application ar

?• How is the Unicode data stored in Byte Sequences in the Computer ? Is it UTF

other representation ?• Does the product support any pre-Unicode code pages ?























#2. Testing the “Input/Output procesimplementation

Input/Output process- The Basics










Input/Output process- The Basics• Put simply, the users interact with an application using keyboard to enter dat

• The application processes the data and displays them in a selected font, or o

a file.

• Input Processes- – Support for Keyboards – Support for IME

• Output Processes- – Font Independence

• As a general rule for fonts, the application – should not hard-code font names – should not assume a given font is always installed on the system – should not assume a selected font supports the desired language script

Input/Output process- Enabling Keyboard- Wi
































Input/Output process- Enabling Keyboard- Wi

What is IME (Input Method Editor)







What is IME (Input Method Editor)

§ What is IME ?§

An IME is a program that allows computer users to enter complex characsymbols, such as Japanese characters, using a standard keyboard.

§ Why we need IME ?§ Each language of CCJK has lots of characters, we cannot mapping all of t

standard keyboard.

§ Which languages need IME§ CCJK (SC, TC, JA and KO)

Test Ideas specific to “Input/Output proc






















Test Ideas specific to Input/Output proc• Input Process:

• Can users Copy/Paste with Accented Characters ?• For, Asian Languages, are all major Input Method Editors (IME) supported ?• Check all the text fields with Localized Keyboard ?

• Output Process:• Test the entire Application User Interface for the consistency of UI look and feel/Font dis• Get the error messages List and simulate the messages in the Application.• If there are some Locales in which product is not translated but important from business

work to test the English version of the product on the Localized OS.• If the Application has different UI components may be Web based and Windows based, en

rendering of text on all supported components.•

Ensure that UIs of all the supported languages are tested independently in all supported Ocombinations.• If the Application has places where the UI dynamically shows data , such areas should be


































Questions to clarify before testing“Input/Output Process”• Input Process:

• What are the input modes that an application supports ?• Does application supports IME, Keyboard, Copy-Paste, Inputting text through Character m

• Output Process:• Is the font hard-coded or is externalized ?• Are there any places in the Application where the dynamic text shows up ?

Examples of “Input/Output Process” spec






















Examples of Input/Output Process specCharacter corruption - Question marks- Sometimes Questions marks appear (?????) in the UI instead of displacorrect text– This generally indicates a problem in the Unicode to ANSI conversio














Character corruption- Random charac- Random High ANSI characters (⅓, †, ‰, ‡) appear instead of readable - This generally indicates a problem with the use of the wrong code page





















Character corruption- Font displa- Vertical bars, boxes and tildes ( , □, ~│ ) indicates that the selected fondisplay some of the characters.

















#3. Testing the “Locale Awareness”implementation

Locale Awareness-The Basics










• The application has to be aware of the locale of the underlying operation systformat the locale sensitive data.

•

Different countries use different formatting for their calendar, date, time, cunumbers and so on

• Locale Awareness- Key Aspects• Consistent Locale Model• Locale based Calendar

•

Locale based Formatting• Locale based Sorting

Test ideas specific to Locale Awareness

























p• Ensuring different components of the Application follows consistent Locale.• Do regional settings, such as paper size, date/time, number and currency for

the language of localized product by default ?•

Does the Localized application automatically default to regional settings specOperating System ?

Locale awareness: Date and Time

















• Different Countries use different Date/Time formats.

Country Short Date Before Noon After Noon

United States Month/Day/Year 11:45 AM 1:30 PM

France Day/Month/Year 11:45 13:30

Germany Day.Month.Year 11:45 Uhr 13:30 Uhr

Japan Year/Month/Day 11:45 13:30

Sweden Year/Month/Day 11.45 13.30

•Testing needs to ensure that appropriate Date/Time formats are followed.

•

Testing needs to ensure that appropriate format of Calendars are followed.

Examples:• In United States, as Sunday is first day of the week- it appears in left most co

Calendar. Many other countries consider Monday as first day of the week- Soshould appear in Left most column in the Calendar.

Locale awareness: Date and Time



























Locale awareness: Currency









y

•Different Countries have different currencies and Monetary Symbols.

•Test your program to ensure that all the currencies and their symbols are a

Input fields and are displayed properly.•Euro Symbol is a Special case. (Rupee Symbol as well)

Locale awareness: Numbers
















•Testing should ensure that any numerical or Currency value is written correstandards followed in locale under test.

•

Examples1. In United States, a period is used to represent decimal and a comma ithousand’s separator. E.g. 1,000,000.00

2. In Germany, it is other way around i.e. a comma is used to represent a period is used as thousand’s separator. E.g. 1.000.000,00

Locale awareness: Addresses, Postal Codes,




















• Different Countries have different ways of formatting their Addresses •Examples:

Address format for United States-NameStreet NumberExtra Lines for apartment numbers, Suites, Buildings etc.City, State, Zip code

Address format for Japan-Postal CodePrefectureTownStreet NumberName

Address format for Germany-

Street AddressPostal code CityCountry/Region

•Addresses can be represented in different ways in the UI.ocale awareness: Addresses, Postal Codes an


































p y

•Special consideration for Zip codes. Examples:

US zip codes are either 5 to 9 digits long.Japanese postal codes are 7 digits long.China zip codes are 6 digits long.Taiwan zip codes are 3 digits long.Korea zip codes are up to 6 digits often with a city name included.

•Special consideration for Phone Numbers. Examples:

US has a 3 digit area code.

India has a 2 digit area code.

•In Chinese and Korean, there are no separate fields for First name and Last nthere is no space between First name and Last name).

•International addresses should be stored in database properly and be displayproperly.

Locale awareness: Sorting






























•Different Sorting rules exists for different countries

• Examples- In German, the letters ö and o are sorted next to each other.

- In Sweden, the letter ö is sorted at the very end; a couple of letters•Sometimes, there are different sort rules for the same language.

• Examples• Spanish language has 4 additional characters ( as compared to Engli

Sorting, there are separate sort rules (traditional and modern soused.

• German language also has multiple collation rules. Infact, there are DIN1, DIN2 (used in phone books) and Austrian.

• Sorting works the same way in French as it does in English.• Japanese language sorting is always based on phonetics.

Questions to clarify before testing











Questions to clarify before testing“Locale Awareness”• Does the product support different regional settings, such as date/time and c

formats, calendar standards, decimal separators, paper size standards, measaddress and telephone number format ?

•

Which areas of the Application displays Locale specific information such as DaNumbers, Currency, Calendar etc. ?• Are there any areas in the Application where the data is sorted ?• What are the language specific sorting rules followed in the Application logic • Are there any places in the Application where the Address format is used ? Is

externalized ?•

If there is a place in Application where one can define App specific Regional sit take precedent over OS specific Regional settings ?

#4. Testing the “Single Base Binary”implementation

Single Base Binary-The Basics










• Single base binary, or SBB, is a single set of functional core binaries for all laversions of operation systems, there are no conditional compiling for differenversions, there are no need to maintain separate source codes for developmelife cycle maintenance.

• Single Base Binary- Key Aspects – Single Language Neutral Binary – Application should functionally behave the same across all the supported languages.

Test ideas specific to Single Base Bin



















• Test for Application having only Localized text in the UI- No hard coding.• Test for Functionality in the different supported languages. Application fu

should behave the same way across the various supported languages.

Example of “Single base binary” specific













Example of “Single base binary” specific








Questions to clarify before testing









Q y g“Single base binary”• Do the separate code paths specific to languages exist within the code ?

• Is the code same/consistent for all the languages ?• Has all the UI text been externalized and placed in separate resource files ?• Is there any text which is still (on purpose) hard-code ?

















#5. Testing the “Localizability” implemen

Localizability- The BasicsL li bilit










• Localizability: – In the application development phase, it is important to identify what needs to be localiz

not, and then put everything that needs to be localized into separate files, in this way thlocalizable.

– Localizability testing verifies that you can easily translate the user interface of the progr

language without re-engineering or modifying code. Localizability testing catches bugs noduring product localization, so localization of the program is required to complete this te

#5. Localized Test data planning- Finer

Why is Localized Test data planning challengi

• Complexity involving the test data across many languages.










• Each language in-turn may consist of literally many writing systems.• Different Languages can literally consist of thousands of characters leading t

choice.• Unicode can store data differently (UTF-8, UTF-16 etc.) which can add anot

complexity.• Localized test data depending upon the encoding being used may end up in v• The Localized data can be inputted using different means.

Why is Euro Language test data different than

• # of Characters: Asian Languages like Japanese, Chinese and Korean literallyth d f h t th th i “E li h lik ” E l




















Citrix Confidential - Do Not DistributeCitrix Confidential - Do Nots r u e

thousands of characters than their more “English-like” European languages.• # of different Writing Systems: Asian Languages usually constitute of many W

as against “less complex” European languages.• Presence of Symbols: Asian Languages has the presence of more “Symbols”

used along with other characters.• Variety of Input modes: Asian languages makes use of Input method editors a

commonly used methods.

Language specific Test data- An Approach

• Generating the Classes of test data




















Example- Spanish Test data- Classes• Capitals:

Á, É, Í, Ó,Ú,Ñ,Ü (commas are only used as separators)











, , , , , , ( y p )

Lower case:á,é,í,ó,ú,ñ,ü

Punctuation:¿,¡,º,ª,«,»,€:

Special Spanish representations:HTML entity codes (HTML entity codes are the codes which allow browsers and screen readers to process data as thlanguage) e.g. for the character á, the HTML entity code is “á”

English Lower case characters:a-z

English Upper case characters:

A-ZNumeric representations:1,2,3,4....

Special characters (EN):~`!@#$%^&*()_+-={}[]|\:;"'<,>.?/

Other Important Considerations

• Bytes vs Characters discussion




























• A Short demo- String Decoder (Available at-http://www.testingmentor.com/tools/generaltools.htm)

• Learnings:

• Take into Account # of bytes your test data is using based on Encoding used.consideration in deciding Boundary value tests

• Also Account for different ways the data can be inputted- Character maps, C

Localized Keyboards etc.• Keep varying the Test data in every cycle of testing.

Creation of Input field sheet- A good practice

• An Example























Accessing and using Character Map

• An Example










Japanese Language Fundamentals• The Japanese writing system is totally different from English, because it does

alphabets.












• The modern Japanese writing system uses three main scripts: Kanji, HiraganKatakana

• Kanji is nothing but the Ideographs from Chinese characters.

• Roughly speaking, Kanji represents blocks of meaning (nouns, stems of adjverbs) and hiragana expresses the grammatical relationship between themadjectives and verbs, particles). Katakana is used for foreign names, the nforeign places and words of foreign origin.

Japanese Language Fundamentals• Here is an example of a newspaper headline (from the Asahi Shimbun on 19 A

uses all the scripts: (kanji (red), hiragana (blue), katakana (green)
