Abstract | Software testing is very important for software quality assurance. However, the test activity is not a simple task and requires good planning to be successful. It is in this context that the automation of tests gains importance. This paper presents the experience of defining and implementing a test automation strategy for functional tests based on the Brazilian Test Process Improvement Model (MPT.Br) in an IT company. The results of this work include the improvement of the testing process used by the company, the increase in the test coverage and the reduction of time used to perform regression tests. |
