Abstract:
The practice of testing software is one of the ways to produce software with quality for demanding clients in the software market. The automation of software testing may be seen as a solution for how to test the largest percent of software within a project, due to the fact that the more the software is built, the larger the scope of testing is. Therefore, organizations that seek to guarantee that their software projects are being built according to the demands of their clients should follow an automation approach to testing. Thus, this paper puts forward a description of work in progress on the development of a maturity model for automating software testing that is being developed as part of a doctoral thesis. Besides presenting the overall expected structure of the maturity model, the plan for validating it is also set out.
