RESUMO

Background: Although there is much information about the software testing area, they are dispersed and disconnected, thus hardening the understanding of concepts and technologies within this area. Consequently, this increases the difficulty on making decisions on where and when to use such testing-related information. Objective: The objective of this work was to create the KITest framework (Knowledge and Improvement on Test) aiming at aggregating knowledge of software testing and making it available to the community. The purpose of KITest is facilitating the knowledge transfer and supporting the definition and improvement of testing processes with respect to its quality. Methodology: Aiming to facilitate the knowledge transfer, the testingrelated knowledge was modeled through a generic testing process organized as a mental map (KITMap). TMMi was chosen as the underlying model to address the intended quality issues. The TMMi practices were distributed into the general testing process. To allow the communitys interaction with the testing knowledge base, we created a tool named KITTool. The tool allows the access to the testing-related information, supports the diagnosis of the current testing process and the suggestion of improvements to it. To manage all this structure, an improvement strategy is used to maintain a continuous evolution based on the communitys feedback. Results and Conclusions: The results and conclusions on the implementation of the KITest framework are described in the technical report that is attached to this dissertation
