A Design of Software Testing Management Platform Based on CMM

Abstract

With the increasing requirement in software quality, the importance of software testing in the project implementation process is growing. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the test work, it is necessary to be effective in managing it, so software enterprises are in a grave need of an efficient and practical software test management platform. CMM is a method for evaluating software contracting capacity to help improve software quality, focusing on the elevation and evaluation of management and engineering capabilities in the software development process. This study, on the basis of research of CMM model, the software testing process and the need of company's software testing management, designed a CMM-based software testing management platform. The model consists of six functional modules, including requirements management, test case management, test running management, the test defect management, the test task management, workload management. The improved features contain test milestone management, test result analysis and supporting testing automation. The functions of e-mail alert, defect report discussion records and custom defect status are also included. Eight kinds of staff roles are involved.
