Guidelines para análise de viabilidade de projetos de automação de teste

Abstract

Context: Performing tests is an essential activity in software development. Need some companies neglect their execution, with a justification of the effort and costs are not validin the project. With this, a test automation has emerged as an alternative to lessen these problems. But once solved, an automation, corrected, can make a project unfeasible,bringing more problems than solutions. The way to analyze is a feasibility of automatingthe automated testing of your deployment in a software project.Objective: This work,therefore, has as a goal a way of seeing the feasibility of an automation project, an increasing number of main tasks in the execution of the activity. From the data found, it isa way of performing an analysis of the feasibility of automation within a software project.Method: this proposal was elaborated with the intention of compiling a bibliographicalsurvey, in order to obtain the points of interest in the feasibility analysis, the meeting point was banned in the area, in order to compare the data contained in the results ofthe first part of search. The results were organized in the form of guidelines, validated from the execution of a case study.Results: The proposal was made according to the guidelines, which are points that must be included before starting an automation.The proposal was validated with a case body without the context of three reais. Ineach project, checklists were carried out in order to evaluate the possibility of using the automation.Conclusion: based on the results can be recognized as a whole, afeasibility analysis, there fore, represents a form of automation of the problems. The proposal of the guidelines was used through the case study as a way of validating the guidelines.
