Abstract

This paper presents a fragment of the ontological model of the domain of software testing domain, represented by the main objects, relations, phases and artifacts produced As a result, two complementary conceptual approaches of the elements involved in Software Testing are presented, based on the Foundational Ontology (UFO-A), as a basis, in order to provide a clearer understanding of the conceptual modeling that exists in the testing process.

Keywords: conceptual approach, ontological model, software testing
