“Test is a shame from both industrial and academic sides. It is amazing that such a few interest is given to the test problematic knowing that the test activity contributes considerably (between 50 and to the global software development cost. Human error occultation is surely one of the reasons that explains this phenomenon, but the problem almost exclusively lies in the semantic definition of testing.”

 

Translation of an abstract of the book "Puissance et limites des systèmes informatisés - Jacques Printz - Editions Hermes - 1998".


Validation phases take an increasing part in the system life cycle, in spite of the fact that the test activity is not usually well defined. Test phases are critical because they permit to assess system quality, but system testing is strongly restrained by delay because it is the project development last stage.

A test cycle involves three main activities: Test plan writing, test plan execution and test analysis. Our solution offers for each stage a new way to save time and money.

The test plan writing is replaced by a modelling of the system under test. From this model it is then possible to generate test cases whose execution could be automatized.

We propose new solutions to conduct the test campaigns that are based on objective stopping criteria and that tend to reach these criteria in the most performing manner.

MaTeLo offers 6 main advantages:

  • Focus on System usage and Top-level engineering
  • Improve the system quality in early step of development
  • Increase the availability of the system by sorting defaults by importance order
  • Automatic Tracking of the Quality and the Reliability of your system under test.
  • Improve the factor Quality / Time to delivery
  • Ease the reuse for same product or upgrade
