Application Overview   A first generation software based platform that helps you digitize, tag, edit & re-purpose your film and video content for new media like Internet and Mobile phones. This video management system allows end-to-end single-point control over the entire process, saving infrastructure costs and valuable time.     Challenges   Non availability of software based solutions to manage video collections Evolving specs and change of directions typical in a startup scenario

The Solution   Flex based front-end leveraging the low-res proxy video manipulation over LAN/WAN with high-res video stored at a central server under a SQL database system Integrated media server and app server to achieve robust performance over LAN/WAN environments. Scalable video server at back-end to server video manipulation tasks Fully developed and tested at our campus       Innovation   Built expertise on evaluation versions of competing software to provide benchmarks for functionality and acceptable performance       The Benefits   Delivered solid feature rich product that competes with global players

Application Overview   The application is a new unified mobile advertisement platform that integrates the latest developments in targeted advertising techniques; mobile data mining with spatio-temporal predicates; cell broadcasting protocols; and location based technologies.     Challenges   An advertiser needs to select the right advertisement to the subscriber with best match for each type of service/product on offer Display the advertisement in a non-intrusive fashion on the idle-screen of the mobile phone An outlet owner wants to access the client who is in the vicinity of the shop The subscriber should receive and access information that he/she needs when he/she needs

The Solution   Build an advertisement response forecasting module based on latest data warehousing and data mining techniques with location, time and profile based data. The application predicts the %age likelihood of response to an advertisement type so that the target customers can be selected based on their User Profiles and User Actions events.       Innovation   Makes the advertisement targeting more efficient and reduces the overall cost of delivery of SMS/MMS by eliminating the recipients who are likely to reject the advertisement. Provides ability to target a user set based on their past data and profile.       The Benefits   The Data Mining engine software will be on server of the mobile operator. It would generate revenue from Advertisements and benefit both us and operator

Application Overview   An easy-to-use online collaborative system that allows the user to plan & design book, monitor the status of pages, use pre-designed layouts and pop-ins for page designing, organize & upload images, apply styles to text and pictures, spell check content before submission, use sticky notes to communicate with other users and permit the staff to edit, revise & approve yearbook.       Challenges   Evolving product requirements & software specifications typical in a start-up/agile environment. Had to assess effort estimates working with prototypes & wireframes The underlying technology (Flash/Flex) were also moving targets. Tracking this was a challenge

The Solution   Deploy senior resources on requirement research and team co-ordination to minimize impact of frequent changes and maintain common understanding Active discussions with development team to identify areas of code reuse where separate test cases were not required for same functionality available through different paths       Innovation   Build QA team based on domain familiarity – to mitigate learning risk due to dynamic nature of changes Plan broader test coverage anticipating additions to layout engine before they were adopted       The Benefits   Project is progressing smoothly and has been able to absorb a 75% change in original requirement with minimal slip in schedule

Application Overview   An online recruiting market place that connects employers and recruitment agencies throughout the world by accelerating enterprise level planning & management of the recruitment function. It is an enterprise application to efficiently manage job transactions through innovative candidate and vendor management modules at absolutely no additional cost.       Challenges   Reduce cycle time for testing without compromising quality of test coverage Lack of clear requirements – partial use cases available but business rules not defined Non availability of database design – schema as well as any constraints or relationships not known Unstable test environment – host system going down often, not supporting multiple users

The Solution   Prioritization of use cases based on Frequency and Criticality Frequently used functionality – positive as well as negative testing Developed workflow based user scenarios for complete test coverage Developed test case matrix to track the execution of tests       Innovation   Risk based testing – limit types of testing based on usage and possible entry points       The Benefits   Our feedback on feature & workflow implementation based on our strong domain experience was appreciated by the client Proven test methodologies & our flexibility  enabled us in achieving the business goal Test matrices provided a clear picture of what’s complete and how much is pending
