IMPROVEMENT OF THE TEST PROCESS using TPI
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents the TPI-model, which is based on current state-of-the-art test process improvement practices. The model gives practical guidelines for assessing the maturity level of testing in an organisation and for step by step improvement of the process. The purpose of such improvement could be reaching CMM level 3. The model consists of 20 key areas, each with different levels of maturity. The levels of all key areas are set out in a maturity matrix. Each level is described by several checkpoints. Improvement suggestions, which help to reach a desired level, are part of the model. The paper includes a general description of the application of model, which deals with how to implement and how to consolidate the improvements.

متن کاملCritical Testing Processes: An Open Source, Business Driven Framework for Improving the Testing Process
Framework for Improving the Testing Process When I wrote my book Critical Testing Processes in the early 2000s, I started with the premise that some test processes are critical, some are not. I designed this lightweight framework for test process improvement in order to focus the test team and test manager on a few test areas that they simply must do properly. This contrasts with the more expan...
متن کاملTest Point Insertion that Facilitates ATPG in Reducing Test Time and Data Volume
Efficient production testing is frequently hampered because current digital circuits require test sets which are too large. These test sets can be reduced significantly by means of Test Point Insertion (TPI). The state-of-the-art TPI methods only focus on solving one or two possible testability problems, and sometimes even fail to result in test set size reduction because they focus on the wron...
