Improving Software Testing Technical and Organizational Developments / [electronic resource] : by Tim A. Majchrzak. - XVIII, 160p. 17 illus. online resource. - SpringerBriefs in Information Systems, 2192-4929 .
Foreword -- 1. Introduction -- 2. Software Testing -- 3. Research Design -- 4. Technical Aspects: Muggl -- 5. Organizational Aspects: The IHK Project -- 6. Testing and E-Assesment -- 7. Conclusion -- 8. Future Work -- References -- Glossary -- Index.
Software is continuously increasing in complexity. Paradigmatic shifts and new development frameworks make it easier to implement software – but not to test it. Software testing remains to be a topic with many open questions with regard to both technical low-level aspects and to the organizational embedding of testing. However, a desired level of software quality cannot be achieved by either choosing a technical procedure or by optimizing testing processes. In fact, it requires a holistic approach.This Brief summarizes the current knowledge of software testing and introduces three current research approaches. The base of knowledge is presented comprehensively in scope but concise in length; thereby the volume can be used as a reference. Research is highlighted from different points of view. Firstly, progress on developing a tool for automated test case generation (TCG) based on a program’s structure is introduced. Secondly, results from a project with industry partners on testing best practices are highlighted. Thirdly, embedding testing into e-assessment of programming exercises is described.
