Blue Star Infotech’s testing solutions powers global launch of Hewlett-Packard’s new cloud based app ‘Touchpoint Manager’
Mumbai, India, March 25, 2015: Blue Star Infotech, the global software solutions and services provider strengthened its alliance with Hewlett-Packard as its testing solutions contributed significantly towards the global launch of HP’s new cloud based app “Touchpoint Manager” in record time. “HP Touchpoint Manager” is a powerful cloud-based app that enables its customers to control and manage a broad range of devices running on iOS, Android and Windows across different brands in a simple & secure way.
The cloud based app addresses the issue of central monitoring and security challenges when multiple devices are being used. The app is launched with the objective of simplifying everyday IT management tasks for small and medium business segments with limited IT resources functioning across different devices, brands and operating systems. The app increases productivity by minimizing downtime and offers an array of services such as tracking of lost devices, monitoring hard-disk health and virus protection from any device – desktop, notebook, smartphone or tablet, on Windows, Android, or iOS.
Highlighting BSIL’s contribution, Mr. Anil Mistry, Manager Project Office of Hewlett Packard said, “Blue Star Infotech’s expertise in test strategy accelerated our time‐to‐market. BSIL was able to address multiple challenges like finalizing optimum device list, customizing their test lab and getting stable builds by reducing the error rate to a bare minimum level. We at HP are grateful to Blue Star Infotech’s highly competent test team for helping us to achieve our objectives in our desired timelines.”
A 12 member strong team from BSIL designed a comprehensive and rigorous testing strategy catering to HP’s unique needs that kept error rate to a bare minimum level in the app. The process involved a combination of manual, performance, automation and security testing techniques that covered a wide spectrum of OS/device configurations. Regression Automation process has made the application stable in lesser time with multiple regression cycle spread across multiple devices and browsers. The entire testing strategy kept the process smoother with no production issues after the launch. Also the testing process is expected to save another 20-30% cost in next phases via automation of regression testing. BSIL also set up a full-fledged offshore mobile testing lab that resulted in cost saving of around 50% for Hewlett-Packard (Cost saving in INR)
Expressing his delight on this occasion, Mr. Nishith Mathur, COO, Blue Star Infotech Ltd. said, “BSIL’s proficiency in designing domain specific testing solutions is unprecedented and the launch of HP’s “Touchpoint Manager” is a shining illustration of the same. Our models not only ensure detection and elimination of errors but also timely delivery of services. Through this app we are glad to extend our long standing professional association with HP and we strive to develop innovative and cost-effective solutions.”
