It is well known that software project success significantly depends on correct estimation. In the report `Planning Game for offshore XP project' important practical details of Planning Game organization will be described. Though Extreme Programming Planning Game is considered most information will be useful for SCRUM and others types of agile projects too. Some advices for customization of PG in...
During the software development process, data that has been gained from the testing phase can help developers to predict software reliability more precisely. But the testing stage usually takes more and more effort due to the growing complexity of software. How to build software that can be tested efficiently has become an important topic in addition to enhancing and developing new testing methods...
Including test activity in the softwarepsilas lifecycle requires it to be planned, so that the time and resources to be spent can be estimated. However, estimating test effort is still an unexplored process. This work describes a method to get test activity effort, based on the information of software use cases. The method was applied in testing of systems from the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service...
An organizational level test strategy needs to incorporate metrics to make the testing activities visible and available to process improvements. The majority of testing measurements that are done are based on faults found in the test execution phase. In contrast, this paper investigates metrics to support software test planning and test design processes. We have assembled metrics in these two process...
A process is an important concept in modern software development. Only when the activities are organized in process descriptions, can these be communicated, followed, observed, and improved. The basis for understanding what testing is, is therefore the understanding of the testing process. This paper presents the general concept of a process, and expands on this to present a suggestion for a generic...
Software specification is an important element of the software development process. However, in most cases the specifications are out-of-date or even missing. One solution for this kind of problem is to use some process that infers the specification automatically. Work by Ernst et al (2000 ; 2002) has shown how specifications can be generated using program execution traces. These approaches are dependent...
