Impact of tool integration on the efficiency of test execution

Abstract

Testing is a crucial part of software development. Testing uses a combination of tools to execute test cases and record their results. This paper addresses the integration process of such tools (Windchill and JIRA) into a single application that can be used for overall test case management, as well as exploring the potential for shortening the testing process duration. In addition, test execution and reporting times for tests executed using the integrated test management tool and for tests executed without the aforementioned tool will be analyzed to determine if test execution and reporting times have been reduced as a result of integrating multiple tools.
