Abstract

This paper moralizes existing literature and also presents a

case study from industry on the use of automated customer

testing.

The aim of this paper is to establish an up to date overview of

existing knowledge to benefit practice and future research.

Introduction

y Approach:Agile software development

y Automate customer testing

y The aim of this paper is two fold

1. To reinforce existing knowledge

2. Reviewed existing experience reports and

publications on ACT within the context of agiledevelopment


4/16

Literature reviewy The literature review was done in Three Steps

1. Analysis and synthesis of literature

2. Evaluation of literature3. Case study of industry project and interview of

testing team

Results from the literature study

y Fit Intro

y FitNesse is a web server, a wiki, and an automated

testing tool for software.y It is based on Ward Cunningham's Framework for

Integrated Test.

y FitNesse is designed to support customer testing rather

than unit testing in that it facilitates detailed readabledescription of system function.

A pplication of Fit

y In Fit the requirementsspecification is made in a tabular

format.

Division component test

Numerator value Denominatorvalue

Result

Pseudo Code

public class DivisionComponentTest

{

private double num;

private double denom;

public void setNumeratorValue (double numerator){

num = numerator;

}

public void setDenominatorValue (double denominator)

{

denom = denominator;

}public double result()

{

return SystemUnderTest.divide (num, denom);

}

}

Fixturey Fixtures are the code glue that connects test tables with

the business logic code and may vary

1. Fat fixture (forbusiness logic)

2. Mock fixture (for output)


9/16

Effects of process and product qualityy In the study by Gandhi et al., one company reported having

successfully refectories a large and important part of their

application, and think it wassuccessful due to their extensivecoverage of readable Fit tests [16].

y Thats why the kind of advantages will be happen

1. Communication

2. Maintaining test specifications

3. Quality of tests


10/16

Results from the case study1. How automated customer testing was used

2. Effects and results

3. Experience looking into both positive and negativeaspects


11/16

About the use

y Who writes the tests?

y How were tests written?

y When were tests written?

y Training, support and introduction

y Positive and negative tests

y Maintaining tests / keeping tests and code in sync


12/16

About the effects, outcome and resulty How use ofACT affects communication and cooperation

with others (team and outside)

y Tests improving understanding of the systemy Requirements management

y Process control

y Customersatisfaction

y Product quality

y Documentation


13/16

Experiencey What does it solve?

y Frequency of finding errors/issues

y Discovery of requirements that otherwise would havebeen missed

y Main negative experiences and problems


14/16

ConclusionACT helps to increase the level of confidence amongst

developers sharing code seems easier which again may

improve collaboration.


15/16

Future WorkyWe would like to look at automated customer testing

connected to a test-driven design method, as this

might indeed prove beneficial.
