Wipro’s POS Test Solution accelerates automated testing of POS applications. It uses HP Quality Center, which manages and governs quality processes and automates software testing. It has been pre-configured for the retail vertical.

This solution also comes with various common test scenarios built using these BPT components. In addition, it uses Orthogonal array techniques to optimise these scenarios. Mr Bhanumurthy B.M., Senior Vice-President, Retail, CPG & Distribution solutions at Wipro Technologies, said, “Reliability, speed and functionality of POS are very critical for execution at the store. Wipro enables retailers to bring in reliability and shrink cycle times while enhancing the functionality of their POS systems, through effective use of accelerators.”

As per industry estimates, the total spending on retail applications is expected to grow by nearly $3 billion over the next four years to reach $9.3 billion in 2009 out of which $3 billion will be directed towards POS software.
