Objective
Most GUI development tools support an incremental life cycle. As subsequent versions of a system are released, testing and maintenance become the most effort demanding issues. The cause for this is that working components of the system have to be re-tested when new modules are released or when other components are changed. This calls for automated regression testing and in general for a more profoundly understood testing method and supporting tools. This testing method should also integrate a defect tracking mechanism, guaranteeing that discovered bugs are managed efficiently and ultimately get solved.
This PIE is aimed at introducing such a testing method in development process. This concern will gain increasing importance in the wider community of professional developers using a similar development method. In particular it is a step towards ISO-9001 certification.
The objectives are mainly to reduce maintenance costs and to test more efficiently.
THE EXPERIMENT
We will introduce SQA test tools and provide training and consulting to the employees involved with the base project. Especially people from QA will be involved, since they will be the key to reducing maintenance costs.
Special attention will be given to the testing method as this is the only guarantee that we will use the tool as efficient as possible.
LGTsoft currently employs 9 people, 8 of them are involved in software development
EXPECTED IMPACT AND EXPERIENCE
We expect to reduce maintenance costs and structure our testing efforts. As a spin off we expect to get more motivated and skilled employees. We should also obtain a documented testing method.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
