Software testing is a continuous process during the software development stages to ensure quality software products. Researchers, experts and software engineers keep going on studying new techniques, methods and approaches of testing to accommodate changes in software development because of the flexible requirement along with the changing of technology. So, developers and testers need to have effective methods, tools and approaches to create a high-quality product at an efficient cost. This paper provides an effective approach for context-driven testing (CDT) in an agile software development process. CDT is a testing approach that supports the tester to choose their testing techniques and test objectives based on specific contexts. The aim of this paper is to propose an effective approach for implementing the CDT in practice, called CDTiP. Through an analysis of two case studies using an agile development process with different contexts, we validate the effectiveness of the approach in terms of test coverage, detect errors, test effort. The empirical results show that CDTiP is suitable for the agile development process that can help the tester to detect defects faster at minimum cost. The results of this method have been applied at Enclave, an ODC Software Engineering company, on real projects.

实践中上下文驱动测试的有效方法——案例研究

软件测试是软件开发阶段的一个持续过程，以确保软件产品的质量。研究人员、专家和软件工程师不断研究新的测试技术、方法和方法，以适应软件开发的变化，因为随着技术的变化而出现的灵活需求。因此，开发人员和测试人员需要有有效的方法、工具和途径来以有效的成本创建高质量的产品。本文为敏捷软件开发过程中的上下文驱动测试 (CDT) 提供了一种有效的方法。CDT 是一种测试方法，它支持测试人员根据特定的上下文选择他们的测试技术和测试目标。本文的目的是提出一种在实践中实施 CDT 的有效方法，称为 CDTiP。通过使用具有不同上下文的敏捷开发过程分析两个案例研究，我们验证了该方法在测试覆盖率、检测错误、测试工作方面的有效性。实证结果表明，CDTiP 适用于敏捷开发过程，可以帮助测试人员以最小的成本更快地检测缺陷。该方法的结果已在 ODC 软件工程公司 Enclave 应用于实际项目。
