摘要

我们报告了在工业环境中进行的一项实证研究,其中修改测试实践的影响是测量的。首先,通过使用改进版本的正交缺陷分类(ODC)分析软件缺陷,度量现有测试实践的效率。这项研究分两个阶段进行,每个阶段持续7个月。在第一阶段(阶段A),使用现有的隐式测试实践记录缺陷。然后要求开发人员根据一个简单的方案显式地进行这些测试活动。在使用这个明确的测试实践几个月之后,一个新的缺陷记录阶段(阶段B),也持续了七个月,被执行了。显式测试实践的影响是根据用户发现的缺陷的比率和执行的测试活动的性质来表示的。结果表明,即使是很小的改进,例如要求测试活动明确,也可以对产品质量产生可测量的积极影响。

Saying, "I Am Testing," is Enough to Improve the Product: An Empirical Study
We report on an empirical study performed in an industrial environment in which the impact of modifying test practices is measured. First, the efficiency of the existing test practices is measured, by analyzing the software defects using a modified version of Orthogonal Defect Classification (ODC). The study was conducted in two phases lasting seven months each. In the first phase (Phase A), defects were recorded using existing implicit testing practices. Developers were then required to make those testing activities explicit based on a simple scheme. After a few months of employing this explicit testing practice, a new defect recording phase (Phase B), which also lasted seven months, was conducted. The impacts of explicit test practices are presented in terms of the ratios of defects found by the users and the nature of the testing activities performed. Results show that even a small improvement, such as requiring testing activities to be explicit, can have a measurable positive impact on the quality of the product.
