SELF: an Easy Way to Perform Acceptance Testing
Abstract
Tests are useful in many aspects related to quality assurance. A special aspect is the software validation by customers. This task does not require knowledge in programming languages or special technologies, because the customers should verify only the correctness of business rules. In this paper, it is proposed a tool that allows the creation of tests that can be used by developers during the software construction and even by the customers during the acceptance of the developed work. The tool saves time during testing activities through the combination of preexisting tools adapted for operation in a new method for Automated Acceptance Testing.
