AppLabs is the largest (by headcount) software testing pure-play globally.
Currently, 25% of clients deliberately award their application
development/systems integration and software testing to two different

control the software development activities of their (internal or external)
developing organization, want an objective and external view of the quality
of the software developed, or prefer using a software testing pure-play with
a focused approach. For this client segment, AppLabs, with its positioning as
multi-sector specialist, is a strong option."

The report highlights AppLabs' scale and multi-sector
specialist tag, more focused and deeper offering around key client verticals
such as stock exchanges, ecommerce web sites, Siebel application testing in
the insurance sector in addition to considerable investment in software
testing automation through development tools and reusable artifacts. In the
client engagement section of the report AppLabs' Test Center of Excellence
and proprietary SCORE (standardization-centralization-optimization-review and
expand) methodology has received considerable attention.
