Managing corrective actions to closure is known to aid software quality assurance, in general, and testing process activities, in particular. In this paper, a framework for software testing assessment, namely OSS-TPA, that aims to evaluate corrective actions in OSS test process, is proposed. The OSS-TPA framework is based on earlier studies and relies on a conceptual model for test process activities in OSS development. Using success factors in OSS development, the relationship between the maturity of managing corrective actions and the adoption of OSS is investigated. %B The 25th International Conference on Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering (SEKE 2013) %C Boston, USA %P 306–311 %U http://index.ksi.edu/conf/seke/2013/cr/282.pdf %> https://flosshub.org/sites/flosshub.org/files/282.pdf %0 Conference Paper %B 2012 IEEE 36th IEEE Annual Computer Software and Applications Conference Workshops (COMPSACW) %D 2012 %T A Conceptual Framework for Open Source Software Test Process %A Abdou, Tamer %A Grogono, Peter %A Kamthan, Pankaj %X The broad acceptance and use of Open Source Software (OSS) has underscored the necessity of investigating the means of assuring their quality. With the aim of identifying an OSS test process, three well-known OSS projects, namely Apache HTTP server, Mozilla Web browser, and NetBeans IDE were studied. In these studies, three activities were found similar to the activities of the ISO/IEC Test Process Standard. However, major differences were observed in tasks related to each of the test process activities. To systematize the OSS test process, an Open Source Software Test Process Framework (OSS-TPF) is proposed. The alignment of OSS-TPF with the ISO/IEC Test Process Standard is illustrated. %B 2012 IEEE 36th IEEE Annual Computer Software and Applications Conference Workshops (COMPSACW) %I IEEE %C Izmir, Turkey %P 458 - 463 %@ 978-0-7695-4758-9 %U http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/articleDetails.jsp?arnumber=6341619 %R 10.1109/COMPSACW.2012.87
