Software Test Automation : A qualitative study on optimizing maintenance in test automationSebastian, Öberg January 2023 (has links)
In IT the waterfall model is being replaced by agile development processes. When transitioning into agile processes software products are delivered in iterations, or cycles, of the same software. That software will be tested repeatedly, by the same tests. When the same test is executed several times test automation comes into consideration. With test automation organizations aim to cut costs but also have predictable and efficient test execution. Over time though, research suggests that maintenance of test automation could become a burden rather than a success. This thesis aims to investigate and research problem areas that affect test automation maintenance and what measurements can be taken to manage maintenance. In total seven semi-structured interviews are conducted with software testing professionals. The gathered empirical data have been analyzed using a thematic approach, which is the result of this study. The outcome of the thematic analysis resulted in four themes Maintenance Issues, Minimize Maintenance, Coding Guidelines, and Collaboration Guidelines. Findings from those themes and underlying codes revealed several sources and problem areas in test automation maintenance. Respondents mentioned several challenges with Flaky tests, unreliable environments, and usage of incorrect tools. When it comes to reducing maintenance, respondents evaluated a list of guidelines but also mentioned a set of tools or approaches to use, to keep maintenance to a minimum.

Amplifying Accessibility : Examining accessibility solutions and considerations for visual impairment in mobile applicationsSödergren, Moana, Hallgren, Ella January 2023 (has links)
Though an increasingly more common occurrence, digital mobile applications are not typically particularly accessible for people with visual impairment. This study investigates the difficulties and consequences faced by developers and visually impaired users when implementing and using accessibility features as well as highlighting the principal considerations when doing so. The thesis employs the two complementary theoretical frameworks Universal Design Theory (UDT) and Critical Disability Theory (CDT) to both capture the functional and social dimensions of accessibility within digital mobile applications. The thesis highlights a knowledge gap among developers and companies, which over time can lead to an accruement of accessibility tech debt and poor design choices. The significance of education and prioritization cannot be overstated, no matter the managerial level. When developing inclusive mobile applications that cater to a wide range of users, it is essential to reframe accessibility features as an investment rather than a cost. A deeper comprehension of the social structures that contribute to disabled people being excluded from the use of digital applications can be achieved in part by incorporating Critical Disability Theory into decision-making processes. This thesis illustrates how drawing inspiration from both UDT and CDT while prioritizing accessibility throughout whole companies can make it possible to create truly inclusive mobile applications.
