Abstract

Testing and validating software components in distributed architecture environments are critical activities for our reference company, where those activities have been performed in a non-automatic way up to now, so spending time and human resources. As a consequence, we were charged to design and construct a flexible system, the Automated Test Manager (ATM), for the automatic software testing and automatic validation of test results. In this paper we focus on the subsystem ATM-Console that handles the validation aspect of the ATM system. This subsystem reuses an Open Source Rule-based Engine, which is able to meet our purposes. Based on results from a case study, the paper reports that introducing the ATM-Console in field could very significantly improve the efficiency of test validation.
