Abstract

Quality assurance, and in particular software testing and verification, are areas that yet have much to offer to the industry. Companies that develop software need to improve their skills in this area to get the best return on investments. Important future strategies for survival are to collaborate with academia to find solutions to several difficult problems within software testing. Some of the areas and experiences in software testing that needs to be improved from an industry perspective is discussed, like test automation and component test. We have created a way to improve designers testing, which we call software quality rank. This ranking system takes known research results, including knowledge and tools from static- and run-time analysis and making them work in industry. The software quality rank aims to improve testing on the component level. We have saved a lot of money by improving the test area, and we share some of the lessons learned to aid other businesses with the same endeavor.
