Corporation, a leading provider of solutions for automated software

providing customers the highest quality code.
2. Deliver executable JUnit test cases to clients.
3. Effectively test project parts or components without having access
to the complete application.

Wipro developers worldwide.
"Over the
years, Wipro has developed a tremendous knowledge base of best practices
for preventing general and project-specific problems," said
Thomas Chen, President of Parasoft Asia. "These best practices
are key to their ability to provide clients with the highest quality
code—an ability that separates Wipro from other outsourcing
organizations. In addition to automating industry-standard best
practices, Jtest also automates Wipro's unique best practices to
ensure that they are all performed thoroughly and consistently by
Wipro developers worldwide."
"Jtest
has evolved well to become a comprehensive Java unit testing tool,"
said Sambuddha Deb,Chief Quality Officer,Wipro. "Wipro has
been using Jtest successfully for years, and it is the perfect fit
for Wipro's enterprise-wide Java development needs. By using Jtest
globally, we can increasingly satisfy our clients. Since Wipro
develops Java code that complies with industry standards and best
practices it satisfies the functional requirements and does not
crash when it is faced with unexpected or exceptional inputs. This
will allow us to deliver top-quality code to clients faster and
cost effectively."
