Jukka Huiskonen · Theseus (Ammattikorkeakoulujen) · 2011
Thesis focused on the design of automated module testing framework. It was commissioned by Tellabs Oy Automating module testing can make savings in operation costs and increase quality of the developed software. When developing software with increasing complexity and tight schedule, testing can sometimes be neglected due to time and budget constraints. This can cause severe problems and loss of business if software defects are not found before it is delivered to a customer. Automated module testing framework is meant to provide developers and testers tool with which to automate those tests that are most often repeated or are most labor intensive. Framework design was split into two parts, functional and system architecture specification. Functional specification relied on the requirements and feature requests gathered from developers using meetings and face-to-face conversations. System architecture specification was constructed from functional requirements by identifying the responsibilities and functions of different modules of the framework. Result was functional and system architecture specification which was deemed confidential by Tellabs Oy. Carefully executed and well thought out specification is basis for successful software development.
