Desenvolvimento de um repositório de medidas de teste de software aderente ao MPT.Br

Abstract

Currently the software development enterprises have been constantly searching improvements in the quality of the developed products, in order to achieve market competitiveness. Software testing has been used in order to obtain a vision of the product quality. During the running of tests within the software development cycle, a very large information pool is generated with increasing complexity of the systems developed. There are several maturity models for improvement of software process, and one of them is the MPT.Br model, that is meant to select the best tests practices based on existent models, and establish metrics of software testing as well. In this context, the objective of this work is to develop a generic repository of metrics and measures of Software testing that are adherent to the MPT.Br. For the construction of this repository, it was developed a survey for priorization and collection of measurement goals of software testing that were identified in the literature works. This survey was applied by software testing specialists from various Brazilian states. After the application of the survey, an analysis of the profiles of the participants and the priorization of the measurement software testing goals was conducted with a higher level of importance. Based on the prioritized measuring goals, the definition of GQM technique for information and specification of software testing measures was executed. For the repository validation, an compliance analysis to the levels 1, 2 ,3 of the MPT.Br was performed, and later the repository was validated with the application in an development software company.
