Designing and developing software testing planning and reporting tool

In today's software world, besides increasing the expectation of quality software, planning of software testing activities and efficient use of resources is gaining importance due to constraints of qualified personnel, time and cost. In addition, software tests are expected to be performed as soon as possible and in detail in order to meet the increasing quality requirements. In order to meet all these expectations, it is very important to plan software tests effectively by analyzing the data collected in the previous tests. With the tool designed within the scope of the thesis, the following items are aimed in the software test processes: • Planing the resources that used in tests and deciding the software test strategy. • Running software tests and log change requests. • Creating software test reports automatically. • Minimizing human errors in progresses and doing repetitive work by the tool. • Standardization of processes and simplification of documentation process. In order to achieve these goals; a test management tool has been developed that has two-way (Read and Write) communication with other tools currently used in software development processes (IBM Rational ClearQuest, Atlassian JIRA, IBM Rational DOORS, Git etc.), adopts intuitive graphical user interface design principles, is simple and easy to use. On the other hand, with this tool, all data recorded in the software development processes can be collected in a single center, and in addition to simple statistical analyzes, advanced statistical analyzes can be performed with all data recorded. Also software test reports in accordance with the job description can be created for the stakeholders in different disciplines.
