An experimental evaluation of approaches to feature testing in the mobile phone applications domain
Laisa H. O. do Nascimento, Patrícia D. L. Machado · 2007
Software engineering is a discipline that cannot be applied based solely on elegant theories. Real software production requires software solutions that may apply a mixture of engineering and ad-hoc practices in a systematic way. In this sense, experimentation is staple for identifying the best practices and solutions for a given software development problem. This paper presents results from an experimental evaluation of the use of model-based testing and the use of exploratory testing in the context of feature testing for mobile phone applications. The study is based on the Goal/Question/Metric paradigm. From the results obtained and conclusions reached, an approach to feature testing is proposed.
