Software Testing Process Model from Requirement Analysis to Maintenance

Software Maintenance Maturity Model (SMmm): the software maintenance process model

Software Maintenance Maturity Model (SM): The software maintenance process model

We address the assessment and improvement of the software maintenance function by proposing improvements to the software maintenance standards and introducing a proposed maturity model for daily software maintenance activities: Software Maintenance Maturity Model (SM). The software maintenance function suffers from a scarcity of management models to facilitate its evaluation, management, and co...

Software Maintenance Process Modeling and Analysis

The chapter provides the insight into software maintenance process, its features, actors, activities and results, with the emphasis on the importance and complexity of systems maintenance. The issues related to maintenance modeling, maintenance process evaluation and improvement are addressed. The chapter proposes a method for system maintenance modeling and analysis. Software maintenance proce...

A Change Analysis Process to Characterize Software Maintenance Projects

In order to improve software maintenance processes, we need to be able to first characterize and assess them. This task needs to be performed in depth and with objectivity since the problems are complex. One approach is to set up a measurement program specifically aimed at maintenance. However, establishing a measurement program requires that one understands the issues and is able to characteri...

Model-Checking Plus Testing: From Software Architecture Analysis to Code Testing

Software Model-Checking and Testing are some of the most used techniques to analyze software systems and identify hidden faults. While software model-checking allows for an exhaustive and automatic analysis of the system expressed through a model, software testing is based on a clever selection of “relevant” test cases, which may be manually or automatically run over the system. In this paper w...
