Item Uma estratégia para a avaliação e evolução de teste funcional de software(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2012) Arantes, Gilmar Ferreira; Leitão Júnior, Plínio de Sá; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4480334653242457Software Testing is part of software quality assurance activities. It aims to uncover the presence of defects, that can be inserted in various stages of software develop- ment. Several techniques are used in the testing activity, highlighting the functional ones, which derive test requirements from the software specification. The research faces the problem of how to evolve the functional testing strategies with low costs, relative to the amount of test cases needed, without compromising the number of uncovered defects. A systematic review was planned and executed, based on formu- lated questions so as to answer the research problem. Such review supported the definition of a new criterion for functional testing, the Systematic Functional Test with Decision Table Application (TFS-DT), which is an extension of Systematic Software Testing (TFS) and provides joint application of criteria: Partitioning Equi- valence Classes, Boundary Value Analysis and Decision Table. The TFS-DT defines a strategy based on a set of requirements and has a process in order to apply the strategy in a systematic manner. Three empirical studies were applied with promi- sing results compared to TFS: all of them reduces at least half the adequated set without impact on the number of uncovered defects.
