“Though the journey to the current state of Testenium has been arduous in some ways, it has also been revolutionary in the sense that it represents a disruption in the conventional ways of working in the Information Technology – with the powerful Meta Computing framework,” added Dr. Arasilango.
Testenium, today, is the outcome of Dr. Arasaratnam Arasilango's more than seven years of product invention, value creation, development, and refinement in his capacity. The Testenium proposal was continually enriched with robust and detailed characteristics, from 2015 it was also introduced to a large and marquee group of Beta customers for their acceptance and usage. The collective learnings from this client experience were incorporated to further develop the platform, particularly from the standpoint of enhanced security, optimized access on the Cloud, and extended coverage of Test Automation.
“I have been able to exploit this vast and heterogeneous expertise to invent the Meta-computing platform, with an integrated meta-programming language, a meta-programming compiler, and a meta-computing engine for scalable, stable, fast and robust test automation and encrypted database application development,” said Dr. Arasilango.
To remain relevant and competitive in their respective markets, companies and organizations worldwide have been forced to reinvent and streamline their business models and customer engagement practices, which in turn have called for the adoption of technology frameworks at scale. This has entailed:
· The rapid adoption of cloud (and remote) technology-based infrastructure operations
· "Growing acceptance of software applications for Commercial Off-The-Shelf" (COTS)
· Quicker cycles of implementation, deployment, redeployment, and upgrade
· Construction of gradual and componentized features
· A paradigm of rapid digital adoption for an improved and frictionless customer and employee experience, especially around integration and interoperability.
However, the adoption and implementation of technology change businesses have been substantially hindered by constraints on infrastructure and human resources related to cost and complexity. Testenium seeks to eliminate these limitations by disrupting the Information Technology industry in essence-with game-changing software development, validation, and implementation capabilities – and promoting the creation of knowledge capital in organizations.
Testenium has developed and delivered path-breaking "Meta Computing" technology in terms of technical developments, effectively taking forward streamlined adoption and use of advanced and highly protected automation capabilities using TAMIL (Testenium Application Modelling & Interface Language), a meta-programming language, and other open formats, to shorten software development dramatically. The company intends to expand Testenium's Meta Computing platform's scope to include and allow more traditional and advanced technologies, including Big Data & Advanced Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Learning.
The Accelerated Massive Parallel Testing (AMPT) feature in Testenium has been built using JAVA's multi-threading concept, which accelerates multiple concurrent QA processes and offers comprehensive coverage and rapid scalability of operations. Testenium is delivered on a Software-as-a-Service model, leveraging the access and global distributed footprint of Cloud infrastructure – taking advantage of the unconstrained scalability possible.
Tough to watch world coming to a standstill due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. With a dramatic effect on both employee and customer experience, the tragic advent of the COVID-19 pandemic worldwide has seriously affected organizations' operations around the world. Organizations will need to adapt to new ways of working, with distributed workforces and a far more critical emphasis on the sanctity and security of data accessed across the enterprise. It has forced the acceleration of the industry-wide trends mentioned earlier, namely:
