QA Metrics: integração das métricas de qualidade de software, em ambiente Docker, para exibição de dashboards Grafana alimentado pelo banco de dados temporal InfluxDB via Newman

Abstract

Software Quality metrics and indicators are able to help a software tester, commonly known as QA, to assess what needs to be done to improve performance of a software development project. In addition, it makes it possible to monitor the progress of a project in order to suggest initiatives based on the collected data. However, gathering the metrics obtained from different data sources to present them in real time is not an easy task for some companies. Nevertheless, with the use of APIs, it is possible to collect the data, analyze and present them in dashboards and reduce QA rework. In this paper, it was developed a system capable of collecting data from three services in order to present, in dashboards, the metrics that are essential in the area of Software Quality. Furthermore, the collection and storage of these metrics are performed in an automated and orchestrated manner through a compact, fast, efficient, safe, portable and isolated application.
