Context: Model-based testing (MBT) is one of the most studied approaches by secondary studies in the area of software testing. A tertiary study that aggregates knowledge from secondary studies on MBT can be useful to both ...

La industria de desarrollo de software costarricense se desenvuelve en entornos cambiantes y competitivos. Para enfrentar los continuos desafíos adoptan distintas prácticas ingenieriles que les permitan cumplir las metas ...

There is a need to develop formal protocols to verify the accuracy of software functional size measurements and to calibrate the measurement processes. These protocols offer a mechanism for accomplishing such verification ...

Background: Several prediction models have been proposed in the literature using different techniques obtaining different results in different contexts. The need for accurate effort predictions for projects is one of the ...

Software effort estimation models has been an area of considerable research for many years and it is still a challenge for software engineering. Although Functional Size Measurement (FSM) methods have become widely used, ...

In software engineering, software quality is an important research area. Automated generation of learning schemes plays an important role and represents an efficient way to detect defects in software projects, thus ...

Context: Software testing is a costly and time-consuming activity. Automated testing of mobile applications is considered complex and difficult. Indeed, several factors such as a variety of inputs (user, context, and ...

This paper presents the design and implementation of a software testing training course for software developers with little or no background on software testing. The design of this training course is modular, so that it ...

The complexity of providing accurate functional software size and effort prediction models is well known in the software industry. Function point analysis (FPA) is currently one of the most accepted software functional ...
