Tiivistelmä
The research started in 2012, to study current impediments causing schedule slippage and increasing ‘time to market’ for finished products and how the automated tools and methods are helping to address the needs. Manual testing and releasing software was the main process for releasing products from the case company, more or less same process is followed by many units for releasing phone software, so the research began with a study about the usage of manual process followed in different organizations. The main objective of the research was to analyse the current way release testing and identify the ways that are needed to reduce delays in the project through thorough automation.
While the research moved on with the study and discussion with many individuals in the team, it turned up to be a great opportunity to learn scripting tools, automation frame-works readily available to be used in automating release and integration, all these valuable information shared in the discussions. Also with several years of experience in the industry, in different kind of roles, I gained profound knowledge and best hands on opportunity to express and relate the best ways of using the tools and methods, which would help any individual in software development organizations similar to the one in the case study.
The research should give a fairly good view of best practices in test automation methods and tools for Windows phone environment, and how can automation help in release process of software, correcting missing practices causing wait time and reduce ‘time to market’. It brings in a clear picture of applying lean six sigma methodologies in identifying faults inside processes followed inside organization. The solution provided is very much helpful for identifying better, faster feedback to all the stakeholders of software development life cycle with appropriate details to act quickly on any type of failure as and when detected.
This research would have not been possible to complete without many individuals, whom I am sincerely thankful especially my thesis supervisor Thomas R and case company manager Arun J.
