Technical Debt in Test Automation

“…In "TIM -A Test Improvement Model" [16], Ericson et al dedicate one of the five key areas to testware. The key area is, apart from a requirement on configuration management, primarily concerned about what the testware does, such as automated result checking, and not as much about how to handle the testware.…”

A Strategic Test Process Improvement Approach Using an Ontological Description for MND-TMM

“…The TPI(Test Process Improvement) [5] was developed by Martin Poll and Tim Kooman in 1997. It is a maturity model that supports test process improvements.…”

“…In order to solve this problem, many test process models, such as TMM [4], TIM [5], and TPI [6] models, have been developed. However, they have several limitations which make their applications to the test process improvements in a specific domain like a defense domain restrictive.…”
