A big part of software development is testing and quality assurance. At the department of service market, Scania R&D, the software Scania Diagnose and Programmer 3 (SDP3) is developed and tested. The quality assurance is conducted by internal and external testing. However, the external testing of SDP3 lacks guidelines for measuring the quality of a field test. The purpose of this project was to create and implement a framework for the field test process of SDP3. This framework is later used to determine the quality of a field test. To create the framework, literature study, interviews and workshops were conducted. The workshops laid the foundation of the framework, and the interviews were used to specify the parameters in the framework. For the implementation of the framework studies were done to analyse the available data, later the framework was implemented into the data base management system Splunk as a real time Dashboard. The results of this study describes a framework that can be used to determine the quality of a field test. Unfortunately the whole framework could not be implemented into Splunk since all data needed could not be accessed through Splunk, instead, recommendations were made.

Scania, one of the heavy engines manufacturers, produces Scania Diagnos Programmer 3 (SDP3) to facilitate repair process in their workshops. SDP3 is localizable software which challenges to separate User Interface strings (UI strings) during development process and later combine with the localized strings for local user access. The objective of this report is to provide knowledgeable solution for Graphical User Interface (GUI) development, especially with respect to synchronization of UI strings in SDP3.The migration of SDP3 from .NET 3.0v framework to .NET 3.5v framework satisfies modern standards and needs. With regards to migration of SDP3’s localization process, I have attempted to summarize major .NET 3.5v framework methods that can be used for localization of GUI text in SDP3. Experiments show that tools used to facilitate the localization process also lack important features. Although pre-build process and post-build process provide promising solutions for localization, using them along with some proprietary localization tool should result in more features, better and faster production cycle. However, proprietary localization tool have to be used with anyone of the localization methods.
