Abstract

Architectural frameworks of test processes have drawn attention from both academy and industry where different models to manage testing maturity have been applied to direct activities of test processes as well as employing strategies hat lead to a continuous improvement of testing processes. However, existing models in literature are presented as not being efficient and effective to reuse components of testing processes. Besides, it is difficult to count on means to improved practices of estimating and controling testing activities so that it is possible to minimize failures that might occur in highly critical systems. The few existing models are not capable of dealing with testing processes in a complete manner. So, this research proposal's main objective is to investigate patterns of architectural behavior in the test environment of computerized systems in different contexts of development. Such objectives seek to find new strategies to reuse software tests by means of semantic methods that can verify metrics (semantic indicators) capable of directing strategies to acquire and compare knowledge embedded in different computational environments.
