POS Testing
Complexity of POS Testing
In today's competitive landscape, the Point-of-Sale system is a key differentiator
for retailers. POS systems need to meet changing business needs under tight
budgets and aggressive timelines.
With POS systems increasingly customized to retailer requirements, vendor tests
may be insufficient, requiring retailers themselves to invest in testing
Retailers recognize testing as a clear area of opportunity to shrink timelines, reduce
costs and improve quality. Effecting tangible improvements in testing is often a
daunting task given the unique challenges with the POS testing landscape.
