Resumo: | There is an increasing concern in the industry on improving product and service quality, and the software sector is aware of that. Governmental agencies and private organizations develop quality standards reflecting best practices (state of the practice) and scientific findings (state of the art) due to the increasing demand for systems aligned to project requirements and customer needs; software testing, the central topic of the present article, is one of the areas targeted for standardization (be it in the process itself or in managerial issues). Here we contrast the literature on software testing with actual practices – as perceived by experts – of a major cluster of software companies in Southern Brazil. In 2003, 14 out of the 20 companies constituting the cluster were investigated under a case study approach supported by in-depth interviews with some of the companies’ software testing professionals, and findings suggest that there is a correlation between a company’s time in the market and the adherence of its software testing procedures to the theoretical exhortations. Important topics are raised concerning the Brazilian software industry, as well as about the priority that should be given to the art or to the practice in the field. |

Entidades reguladoras governamentais e organizações privadas desenvolvem normas de qualidade refletindo melhores práticas da indústria (estado da prática) e descobertas científicas (estado da arte), dada a crescente demanda por sistemas alinhados a compromissos de projeto e necessidades do cliente; entre as proposições, encontram-se as de teste de software, objeto do presente artigo. Aqui, apresenta-se, comparativamente a recomendações da literatura, um panorama das práticas de teste de software em um dos principais pólos industriais brasileiros de produtos e serviços de informática, localizado na Região Sul do país. Em 2003, 14 das 20 empresas que integravam o referido pólo foram estudadas em estudo de caso auxiliado por entrevistas em profundidade junto a alguns de seus profissionais de teste de software, e os resultados dão conta de que há uma correlação entre o tempo em que as empresas atuam no mercado e a conformidade de seus procedimentos de teste de software às recomendações teóricas. Questionamentos importantes sobre a indústria brasileira de software são derivados, bem como sobre a primazia a ser dada à arte ou à prática neste campo.Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul2013-06-21info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionscientific articleAvaliado pelos paresArtigo Científicoapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/read/article/view/40653Electronic Review of Administration; Vol. 11 No. 3 (2005): Edição 45 - mai/jun 2005Revista Electrónica de Administración; Vol. 11 Núm. 3 (2005): Edição 45 - mai/jun 2005Revista Eletrônica de Administração; v. 11 n. 3 (2005): Edição 45 - mai/jun 20051413-23111980-4164reponame:REAd (Porto Alegre.

There is an increasing concern in the industry on improving product and service quality, and the software sector is aware of that. Governmental agencies and private organizations develop quality standards reflecting best practices (state of the practice) and scientific findings (state of the art) due to the increasing demand for systems aligned to project requirements and customer needs; software testing, the central topic of the present article, is one of the areas targeted for standardization (be it in the process itself or in managerial issues). Here we contrast the literature on software testing with actual practices – as perceived by experts – of a major cluster of software companies in Southern Brazil. In 2003, 14 out of the 20 companies constituting the cluster were investigated under a case study approach supported by in-depth interviews with some of the companies’ software testing professionals, and findings suggest that there is a correlation between a company’s time in the market and the adherence of its software testing procedures to the theoretical exhortations. Important topics are raised concerning the Brazilian software industry, as well as about the priority that should be given to the art or to the practice in the field. |
