Evaluating the effectiveness of a suite of system tests applied to the context of the Ginga Middleware
Middleware Ginga, System Testing
Software quality has become a key factor in the software development process today. To be able to measure the quality of different types of tests is today an important challenge to be met. The research conducted in this study considered the evaluation of the effectiveness of systems tests performed by MOPA Embedded Systems in the use of Ginga middleware for Digital TV. To perform the system test suite evaluation performed by the company, it was proposed a methodology to evaluate it through the code coverage criterion, followed by an exploratory study to investigate possible reasons for the results obtained from the coverage. Finally, exploratory tests were conducted to confirm the findings from the exploratory study phase. Through these steps, it was possible to establish an opinion on the quality of the tests performed, as well as the automation performed by the company.
