Desarrollo de pruebas unitarias automáticas para el sistema web escolástico del Instituto Tecnológico Superior Stanford.

Abstract

This work aimed to develop an automatic unit tests for the Scholastic Web System of the Stanford Higher Technological Institute (SACS). To identify the problems techniques such as interview and observation, applied to the system developer were used. After that, the SCRUM agile development methodology was implemented for the creation of the unit testing automation system using the Junit framework, with the JAVA programming language, SWING and AWT technology, as well as the iText and IO libraries. Communicating with any application with similar characteristics to the SACS system to automatically implement the unit tests of data access and allow the obtaining of information from them. The development produced the unit testing automation system with a total of 986 lines of code and a total weight of 65.42 Mb. Which, by means of the tests corresponding to each of the six iterations revealed an improvement of 82% in the time invested in the resolution of conflicts over data access methods of a complete project and an average reduction of 56% of the time invested in conflict resolution on data access methods of an iteration. This makes the development of similar projects more efficient with regard to time. Moreover, as it was developed under a test environment, a more reliable and clean code was obtained, being these good indicators for the development of the project; For the favorable results obtained it is recommended that the unit testing automation system becomes a plugin for the most popular Development Environments such as NetBeans and Eclipse.
