    SOFTWARE TOOLS: A BUILDING BLOCK APPROACH NBS Special Publication 500-14 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE National Bureau of Standards ] NATIONAL BUREAU OF STANDARDS The National Bureau of Standards^ was established by an act of Congress March 3, 1901. The Bureau's overall goal is to strengthen and advance the Nation's science and technology and facilitate their effective application for public benefit. To this end, the Bureau conducts research and provides: (1) a basis for the Nation's physical measurement system, (2) scientific and technological services for industry and government, (3) a technical basis for equity in trade, and (4) technical services to pro- mote public safety. The Bureau consists of the Institute for Basic Standards, the Institute for Materials Research, the Institute for Applied Technology, the Institute for Computer Sciences and Technology, the Office for Information Programs, and the ! Office of Experimental Technology Incentives Program. THE INSTITUTE FOR BASIC STANDARDS provides the central basis within the United States of a complete and consist- ent system of physical measurement; coordinates that system with measurement systems of other nations; and furnishes essen- tial services leading to accurate and uniform physical measurements throughout the Nation's scientific community, industry, and commerce. The Institute consists of the Office of Measurement Services, and the following center and divisions: Applied Mathematics — Electricity — Mechanics — Heat — Optical Physics — Center for Radiation Research — Lab- oratory Astrophysics^ — Cryogenics^ — Electromagnetics^ — Time and Frequency*. THE INSTITUTE FOR MATERIALS RESEARCH conducts materials research leading to improved methods of measure- ment, standards, and data on the properties of well-characterized materials needed by industry, commerce, educational insti- tutions, and Government; provides advisory and research services to other Government agencies; and develops, produces, and distributes standard reference materials.

NISI PUBLICATIONS A111D3 TTSTll ^QC ' 100 .U57 //500-209 1993 7he National Institute of Standards and Technology was established in 1988 by Congress to "assist industry in the development of technology . needed to improve product quality, to modernize processes, to reliability . manufacturing ensure product and to facilitate rapid commercialization . , of products based on new scientific discoveries." NIST, originally founded as the National Bureau of Standards in 1901, works to strengthen U.S. industry's competitiveness; advance science and engineering; and improve public health, safety, and the environment. One of the agency's basic functions is to develop, maintain, and retain custody of the national standards of measurement, and provide the means and methods for comparing standards used in science, engineering, manufacturing, commerce, industry, and education with the standards adopted or recognized by the Federal Government. As an agency of the U.S. Commerce Department's Technology Administration, NIST conducts basic and applied research in the physical sciences and engineering and performs related services. The Institute does generic and precompetitive work on new and advanced technologies. NIST's research facilities are located at Gaithersburg, MD 20899, and at Boulder, CO 80303.

The fre- these results, finding projects that take hours to build, with quency with which code can be built (compiled, tested and most of that time spent testing. Even in cases of projects packaged) directly impacts the productivity of developers: that build in a more manageable amount of time | for ex- longer build times mean a longer wait before determining if ample, five to ten minutes | faster builds can result in a a change to the application being built was successful. We significant increase in productivity due to less lag-time for have discovered that in the case of some languages, such as test results. Java, the majority of build time is spent running tests, where To make testing faster, developers may turn to techniques dependencies between individual tests are complicated to such as Test Suite Minimization (which reduce the size of discover, making many existing test acceleration techniques a test suite, for instance by removing tests that duplicate unsound to deploy in practice. Without knowledge of which others) [11, 12,23,24,27,28,37,39], Test Suite Prioritization tests are dependent on others, we cannot safely parallelize (which reorders tests to run those most relevant to recent the execution of the tests, nor can we perform incremen- changes first) [14, 15, 35, 36, 38], or Test Selection [17, 25, 32] tal testing (i.e., execute only a subset of an application's (which selects tests to execute that are impacted by recent tests for each build).

SQM is an ongoing process within the software development life cycle (SDLC) that routinely checks the developed software to ensure it meets desired quality measures. In this article, it is highlighted that how to combine software quality management life cycle with software development life cycle to generate better quality and outcomes. This article takes a different approach by examining how software quality management practices can impact project outcomes. Software quality management (SQM) plays a critical role in the software development lifecycle (SDLC) and can impact a project’s overall success. Index Terms – SQM, SQA, SQP, SQC and SDLC. 1.

That is achieved both by outlining new and reusing existing tools and software. Most of the problematic corner cases mentioned in this thesis are not product specific, making the solutions applicable for other QE teams. The last part of the thesis is dedicated to improving automated results processing and reporting. iii Keywords OpenJDK, Jenkins, quality engineering, test automation, Java iv Contents Introduction 1
