Abstract
La complejidad de las aplicaciones informáticas se vuelve cada vez más elevada con el paso del tiempo con la llegada de nuevas y más potentes tecnologías. Es por ello que se deben proporcionar mecanismos de comunicación con el usuario más útiles y acordes con la lógica de negocio, además de intuitivos de tal forma que a través de los mismos se puedan llevar a cabo todas las, en muchos casos, complejas funcionalidades. Como consecuencia de lo mencionado, el actual enfoque en la creación de aplicaciones es el de dotar a las mismas de interfaces de usuario muy potentes y extremadamente complejas, con gráficos en dos y tres dimensiones e inclusive con contenido multimedia, que aporten un alto grado de interacción. El principal problema en este tipo de escenarios, es que no hay experiencia suficiente, ni existen metodologías necesarias para llevar a cabo las pruebas que verifiquen que dichas interfaces carecen de cualquier tipo de deficiencia. Partiendo de dicha motivación, se ha realizado una metodología que especifica el proceso necesario para la creación de planes y casos de prueba satisfactorios en aplicaciones gráficas de última generación. Dicha metodología está basada en casos de uso, y se descompone en tres fases fundamentales las cuales son: estudio de viabilidad, extracción de conocimiento y generación de documentación y el plan de aseguramiento de la calidad. Las recientes y novedosas aplicaciones WPF de Microsoft, basadas en la plataforma .NET, son uno de los tipos de aplicaciones sobre las que hay que prestar especial atención a las pruebas de interfaz. Por ello, se ha desarrollado una aplicación basada en esta tecnología con objeto de crear pruebas y desplegarlas sobre la misma, basándose en la metodología definida. ________________________________________________
The complexity of the computer applications becomes increasingly higher over time with the arrival of new and more powerful technologies. This approach implies having to provide mechanisms for communication with the user, useful and consistent with business logic, as well as intuitive so that through them the user can carry out all the complex functionalities. As a result of the above, the current focus on creating applications is to provide them very powerful and extremely complex user interfaces, with graphics in two and three dimensions and even with multimedia content. The main problem in such scenarios is that there is not enough experience, and there are no methods to conduct tests and verify that these interfaces lack any sort of deficiency. Based on that reasoning, a methodology has been made which specifies the process for creating successful plan and test cases about next-generation applications. This methodology is based on use cases, and is broken down into three main phases which are: feasibility study, knowledge extraction and generation of documentation and quality assurance plan. Recent WPF applications from Microsoft, based on the platform .NET are one of the types of applications that need special attention about interface testing. So we have developed an application based on this technology to create and deploy tests based on the methodology defined.
