Globalization testing- The High business impact testing

Wikipedia defines Globalization as follows-
Globalization (or Globalisation) refers to increasing global connectivity, integration and interdependence in the economic, social, technological, cultural, political, and ecological spheres.

With most businesses across the world following Globalization trend, the world has rapidly become a well-connected place (thanks to the advent of Internet and other communication technologies). Any news that happens in any extreme corner of the world gets known to everyone in seconds. This is very different from how world used to operate in may be 10-15 years earlier.
The business model for almost all the successful Software products and services have had its basis in Globalization i.e. the products are developed and delivered for International markets.

This makes the products accessibility in the different countries far superior as compared to physical products. With more and more Software products going global, the Globalization testing has assumed a mammoth importance. It has been in the Project Life cycle of all the top notch product organizations.
