A software testing approach supported by a tool environment for the development of component tests
Hermans, JGF John · TU/e Research Portal · 2006
A major discipline in software development these days is quality assurance. Quality assurance is a vast discipline, existing of many different areas of expertise. Software testing is a very important part of it. A variety of testing approaches and methodologies have been presented over the years, every one of them with proponents and critics. This thesis is about the selection and implementation of a suitable testing approach for the development of software components at Intersoft Software Research. Several existing testing methodologies and approaches are examined. These methodologies are compared to the development process used at Intersoft Software Research, and the most suitable testing approach is selected. The testing approach is adapted for the use at Intersoft Software Research and a tool environment is created to support the testing approach. The testing approach and tools have been used in the development of several components at Intersoft Software Research and the results of their use are analyzed in this thesis.
