Automatic Test Generation to Improve Scrum for Safety Agile Methodology

摘要: Continuous compliance and living traceability, i.e., assure the technical quality of the software during the incremental flow of the agile process and trace the requirements’ implementation at any time during the development cycle, are two of the most challenging aspects of adopting agile methodologies in the safety critical domain. This is even more true when either user requirements are unstable, the knowledge of the product to be delivered is not enough, or there is no clear interfaces between various hardware/software subsystems, as it may be in a research and development context. In order to reduce the overall cost of these activities, in this manuscript, we discuss benefits resulting from adopting a semi-automatic method to perform continuous compliance and living traceability. The method aims to finding inconsistency between artifacts produced at the end of each iteration by exploit automatic generation of …
