As atividades de teste e o método XP de desenvolvimento de software

Abstract

The theme of this study was based on the constant search for shares of companies that develop software to improve the quality of your final product. Companies have been investing a considerable portion of their budget on their software process, specifically Software Testing. The tests, more than a means of detecting and correcting errors, are indicators of product quality. There are different models of software development, and there are models that have their testing efforts focused on different points of software development. In Agile, a large portion of software testing responsibility is placed on the programmer. In more traditional models, the test executions occur mainly after the coding process is complete. Since testing of code is the responsibility of the programmers, what is the role of a tester in an Agile team? With the automation of testing, the tester is free to focus on areas that generate more value such as exploratory testing, usability and testing the application in ways not anticipated by the programmer.
