Estudo de uma ferramenta para auxílio em testes de software

Abstract

From observation, it was verified that, in the Informatics Superintendence of UFRN, the software tests are done in the great majority by manual process. Considering that the tests, especially those of regression, spends substantial time, comparing to other production stages as Development and Requirements, the implantation of automated test process could be considered for a possible improvement in the workflow and in the software production as a whole. In this way, this work addresses manual and automated tests results with emphasis on regression tests through examples and comparisons. In this regard, it is intended to justify throughout the comparisons that the use of automated tests can offer improvements in the current workflow of the Superintendence.
