In this paper we develop a new paradigm for GUI testing, called Observe-Model-Exercise (OME*). We make use of a new context-aware mapping that maintains information about the event sequences that were used to reach model elements. We simultaneously extract new GUI model elements—events and follows relationships—during test execution. We develop a unique signature for each […]
SPI: Institutionalizing Process Improvement Framework
This paper extends the line of enquiry in SPI research to address process improvement in distributed product development teams. We develop key process areas (KPAs) that specifically address the fundamental characteristics of distributed work identified in ‘collaboration readiness’, ‘technology readiness’, ‘common ground’, and ‘coupling in work’. By explicating the five-year SPI journey of a large […]
