A taxonomy for software testing projects

Abstract

-This article establishes taxonomy for software testing projects, allowing the development team or testing personnel to identify the tests to which the project must be subjected for validation.The taxonomy is focused on identifying software projects according to their technology. To establish the taxonomy, a development method comprised of 5 phases was applied. The developed taxonomy is comprised of 9 categories and 27 subcategories and was validated by a group of information technology (IT) managers and professionals in the field of IT through the use of a survey. The results obtained from the survey are subjected to the Mann-Whitney U test, whichindicates that the taxonomy is validated. The taxonomy can be implemented in development organizations with or without a testing team that provides a classification for technology projects.

Taxonomy For IoT Systems Testing: Practical Guidance for Practitioners

“…Several studies proposed taxonomies for software testing to guide the testing teams. One study [18] discussed a taxonomy featuring 9 overarching categories and 27 subcategories tailored for traditional software. This taxonomy underwent validation via a comprehensive survey involving IT managers and industry professionals, cementing its relevance and utility within the field.…”

“…However, testing IoT systems is still challenging due to their diverse and distributed nature, as well as testing lower layers [11], [12]. To improve test coverage, a taxonomy can be a valuable guide [13], [14]. Taxonomy can aid IoT testers in understanding and applying various testing aspects systematically, ensuring they do not overlook any critical aspect.…”
