RESUMO

Considering the great attention and acceptance that Software Metrics are receiving by the market and the academy as a good way to improve software development processes and observing that software testing is being regarded vital for a quality software development, it was intended to evaluate how software metrics could contribute for improving the tests executed by software organizations. Many organizations have been investing a great effort on defining a testing process to efficiently prevent and identify defects. During the development lifecycle and the software maintenance, tests are executed with the purpose to guarantee that the least number of defects are being delivered with the final product. In order to achieve this goal and considering the time and recourse limitation to execute software tests, it is necessary that the specified test cases are as complete as possible and are able to efficiently indentify defects. Nevertheless, test architects have created and maintained test cases (mainly test integration and test system) without any formal method that evaluate the product quality and if the test result is being satisfactory. This work defines a methodology to support the test case maintenance based on a set of test metrics, making it possible to indicate a test cases scope to be improved, so that those test cases can add more value for the developed product
