Abstract:
Software testing is an integral, costly and time-consuming activity in the software development life cycle. This presentation closely examines the product life cycle, test scope, test environments and tools used in each specific testing phase. These includes the use of traceability metrics to track test coverage, the quality goal set for next testing for smooth test transition as well as controlling the defect escaped by metrics chart which helps to monitor test effectiveness.
Using this test strategy, focus will be placed on the opportunities for test automation in the implementation phase. This paper will introduce the basic notion of automation methodology for requirements mapping, results verification and UML model validation as far as component tests. By using the automated tools, time and efforts savings are significantly high resulting in early detection of faults and optimize the effort for defect resolution. The highlight of this presentation will be on how these automation tools enhances early test phases based on simple test approach and through this, defining the test strategy that helped to reduce overall project effort, improve product quality and ensure on time delivery.
