Testing is a software development activity, devoted to evaluating quality and improving the end product by identifying defects and problems. It's an important aspect in software application development to insure the application quality which include the application's performance, reliability, speed, security and functionality. Testing can be done by automation tools like Win runner, QTP or manually. Manual testing, is another option, but it takes lot of time and manpower. Automated testing has increased costs and most of the times is not affordable for small or middle level organizations. In this paper we are presenting agent based testing which can fulfill the testing requirements on smaller costs. We present an implementation framework of an online application which can be accessed over the web and on payment of small amounts can provide different kinds of software tests for web based applications. The framework uses Multi Agent Systems to manage, perform, report the testing procedures.
In this paper, we discuss the crucial importance of properly analyzing and representing useful assets obtained in the process of software development. An ontology supported knowledge representation scheme is presented to compose and organize process knowledge into an organizational repository. According to the characteristics of process knowledge, we build ontologies and utilize them as shared and controlled representation vocabulary that can eliminate conceptual and terminological confusion. In order to facilitate the storage and dissemination of process knowledge, we design a framework named OnSSPKR to validate our proposed ontologies and to confirm the implementation feasibility.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
