Abstract


This paper describes the implementation of a software test process for independent tests groups using iteration concepts. The goal of this experiment was apply the benefits of the iterations approach in order to simplify the definition and execution of a complete test process. This process was defined using as basis de Test discipline from RUP, the test artefact standard IEEE 829, practices defined on TMM and the Verification and Validation process areas from CMMI. The iterations had been executed following the priority and current situation of the team’s process.
Keywords: Iteration Testing Methodology, CMMI, RUP
