MITS5501: Agile Software Testing in Large Scale Projects - A Report

This report provides an overview of agile software testing methodologies in large-scale projects, focusing on the challenges and implementation of agile software, particularly Extreme Programming. It highlights the research methodologies employed, including mixed methods (qualitative and quantitative), primary data collection through interviews, surveys, and questionnaires, and secondary data from journals, articles, and websites. The report identifies key issues such as challenges faced by IAF during testing, implementation problems, research gaps, and defect management. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of testing and execution in agile software development and summarizes the research methodologies used to collect data, providing a comprehensive analysis of agile software testing in large projects.

Agile software testing in
a large scale project

 This representation describes the fundamental
concept of agile software for large scale project.
 Agile is an advanced technology which use extreme
programming for software development
 It is completely based on the iteration process and it
requires full integration during testing procedure
(Kettunen, 2009).
Introduction

 There are following research methods used
by in this project:
◦ Research design
◦ Data collection method
◦ Research strategy
◦ Data analysis
◦ Sampling process
Research methodology

 Researcher is used mixed method to
conduct this investigation
 Mixed methods is a combination of
quantitative and qualitative data (Honda, et
al., 2017).
 The qualitative research design produce
theoretical information about agile software
 Quantitative process is used to gather data
or statics from different resources.
Research design

 In this investigation author used both
primary and secondary process to collect
data.
 Secondary information is collected from
journals, articles, books and websites
 Primary data is collected from interviews,
survey and questionnaire
 With the help of these methods author
achieved the objective of this research
Data collection method

 There are following problem highlighted by
the researcher:
◦ Challenges faced by the IAF during testing
process
◦ Problem of implementation of source code
◦ Research gap in the previous research paper
◦ Challenges suffered by defect management
(Kettunen, 2009).
Issue highlighted by the author

 This project is based on the testing and
execution of agile software for large scale
project.
 In this article author explained the working
of agile software and challenges faced by
IAF.
 Researcher used various research
methodologies to collect data such as
quantitative and qualitative, primary,
secondary, and survey which are desribed
in this report.
