TESTQUAL: Conceptualizing Software Testing as a Service
نویسندگان
چکیده
Software testing has emerged as a distinct responsibility in software development. This paper argues that software testing should be conceptualized as a service rather than being viewed as a sequential line of responsibility in software development. Testing as a service has two key aspects: (1) a service to developers, and (2) a service to end users. This paper draws from the SERVQUAL and software quality literature in information systems to propose a structured measurement tool for testing as a service and to briefly discuss its relationship with software quality. The TESTQUAL framework is described, and its components are defined and exemplified. The practical implications of TESTQUAL are also discussed.

Investigation on Reliability Estimation of Loosely Coupled Software as a Service Execution Using Clustered and Non-Clustered Web Server
Evaluating the reliability of loosely coupled Software as a Service through the paradigm of a cluster-based and non-cluster-based web server is considered to be an important attribute for the service delivery and execution. We proposed a novel method for measuring the reliability of Software as a Service execution through load testing. The fault count of the model against the stresses of users ...
متن کاملCustomer services in the digital transformation: social media versus hotline channel performance
Due to the digital transformation online service strategies have gained prominence in practice as well as in the theory of service management. This study examines the efficacy of different types of service channels in customer complaint handling. The theoretical framework, developed using complaint handling and social media literature, is tested against data collected from two different channel...
متن کاملConceptualizing and Programming Hybrid Services in the Cloud
For solving complex problems, in many cases, software alone might not be sufficient and we need hybrid systems of software and humans in which humans not only direct the software performance but also perform computing and vice versa. Therefore, we advocate constructing “social computers” which combine software and human services. However, to date, human capabilities cannot be easily programmed ...
متن کاملConceptualizing a Novel Quasi-Continuous Bayesian Phylogeographic Framework for Spatiotemporal Hypothesis Testing
Continuous phylogeography is a growing approach to studying the spatiotemporal origins of RNA viruses because of its realistic spatial reconstruction advantages over discrete phylogeography. While the generalized linear model has been demonstrated as an effective tool for simultaneously assessing the drivers impacting viral diffusion in discrete phylogeography, there is no similar testing metho...
متن کاملService-Oriented Software Testing Platform
Software testing is an important quality guarantee for software. It is an indispensable stage in software life cycle. After the analysis into the idea of the service-oriented systems, this paper tries to integrate service-oriented thinking with software testing to propose a service-oriented software platform to solve the limitations that exist in actual software testing tools, such as costlines...
