Management of Software Test Using CASE Tool

Abstract

This paper introduces how information related with software test is managed using CASE (Computer Aided Systems Engineering) tool. For systematic test management System Requirements, Test Cases, Test Cases, Test Events, Test results should be managed. This information is interrelated. Therefore, the management of each information item as well as the association must be managed together. This paper shows how those information items are managed in a software development project using Cradle. The Cradle® is a general purpose systems engineering tool. So we customized it for the purpose of our project. For customization we identified what item types that should be managed, the attribute of each item, the relationships between items. By managing the test of a software using CASE tool, we can ensure that there are no requirements that are not tested, systematic identification and preparation of test enabling system, share all information related with test.
