Pruebas de mutación, control sobre variaciones en el código fuente

Abstract

Software testing as an essential complement in the quality process, have become an important factor for companies. Quality is the result of a series of tests and inspections to be performed at a specific program to check compliance with the requirements defined in the early stages of design. In the branch of computer science, the quality is governed by metrics and specific models that provides important support to validate the software. The way to achieve a higher level of quality requires effort and techniques to help this process. This research contributes to raising the quality of the tests performed to software products that are created in the Digital Signals Department of the CITEC. It has as main goal the development of testing structure of control and testing mutation so as to obtain results through more than one technique of White Box testing. Powerful technologies were used for the development of the tool between the mentioned C++ programming language and development framework Qt, The Visual Paradigm tool was selected for modeling the main diagrams and representations of the system and the construction of the solution was guided by the agile methodology SXP. Further references to architecture and design patterns were applied to provide greater organization to the structure of the application.
