Maveric Systems, a leading global independent software testing
specialist, today announced that its R&D facility has
been accorded recognition by the Department of Scientific & Industrial
Research (DSIR). Located in the IIT Madras Research Park, Maveric’s R&D
facility is now a registered unit with the DSIR. This accreditation comes after
an exhaustive, 18-month long assessment by the DSIR and is a validation of
Maveric’s significant R&D efforts in Software Testing.
Department of Scientific
& Industrial Research (DSIR) comes under the Ministry of Science &
Technology and is the nodal department for granting recognition to in-house
R&D units in Industry, and Scientific and Industrial Research Organizations
(SIROs). The key objectives of DSIR are to bring in-house R&D into sharper
focus, strengthen R&D infrastructure and promote R&D initiatives, and ensure
that the contributions made by the in-house R&D centres and SIROs dovetail
adequately in the overall context of technological and industrial development.
This accreditation will
fuel further investments into collaboration initiatives with teaching and
research institutes and also enable better access to government institutions
looking for testing tools and services.
Maveric’s R&D facility in IIT Madras Research Park
Maveric has an MoU with
IIT Madras, wherein IIT Madras helps Maveric further its R&D in software testing
through a combination of research projects, consultancy, student sponsorship
and joint IP development activities. Under the aegis of this partnership,
Maveric set up a dedicated R&D facility with a 40-member team in IIT Madras
Research Park in July 2010. This R&D
centre has a strong focus on creating IP that helps to substantially
improve the quality of test design, quickens test execution and achieves
exponential reduction in testing cycle times. (See table for
details.)
Maveric’s R&D focus
1. Testac: Domain-independent Test Design Framework which helps
to significantly reduce Test Design timelines and therefore enables faster
deployment of applications by business
2. Functional Domain Models: Encapsulation of process, rules and key drivers
relating to specific functional domains to ensure reliable test coverage
3. Automate: Tools
and frameworks to quicken the execution timeframes

Commenting on the accreditation, Mr. V N Mahesh, Executive
Director and Co-founder of Maveric Systems, said, “This recognition is a huge honour and great
validation of our IP strength and capabilities. Over the last 3 years, we have
invested about INR 3 crore
in R&D aimed at furthering our twin mantras of ‘Design Better’ and ‘Execute
Faster’. This accreditation
is a strong acknowledgement of our ongoing commitment to innovation and will
provide a fillip to our objective of achieving over 30% of revenues from IP-enabled services by 2014.”
