Uma ferramenta para suporte a documentação e rastreabilidade da informação de um processo de teste de software
TL;DRAbstract
Software plays a key role in many applications and quality of software products is crucial in the competitivity of software development companies, which are increasingly putting effort in the quest for good quality in their products. In this context, testing is recognized as a key process to achieve this goal; however, systematic software testing is not an easy activity. For testing to have effectiveness and efficacy, in addition to product evaluation aspects, it must make use of good quality documentation: all the recorded information must be up to date and consistent; also, associated information must be traceable. A traceability model is proposed for the information contained in the documentation of the testing process; the data model developed gives support to documentation based on the standard IEEE Std 829-1998, as well as to traceability of all associated information; a prototype tool was developed to implement the data model and the traceability model.
