Split-Tesge : um processo para adaptação de métodos de geração de sequências de testes para linha de produto de software

Abstract

The Software Product Line development has gained notoriety for being an ally to projects that seek to increase productivity through reuse of artifacts. This reuse, already used in the development process, has recently started to be adopted during the software testing phase, which is considered one of the most costly phases of the development process. In this work, we propose a process to adapt methods for generating test sequences, traditionally used in single systems, to be used in Software Product Lines. This process is called Software Product Line Test using Test Sequence Generation Method (SPLiT-TeSGe). The main idea is that test artifacts produced in the Domain Engineering are reused for products derived in the Application Engineering allowing, thus, to reduce the number of test case to test a software derived from a Software Product Line.
