Description

[0001] TEST ANALYTICS AND VISUALIZATION SYSTEM

[0002] FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0003] The present invention relates to a test analytics and visualization system developed for analytical examination, visualization and management of test processes and software test data of software companies, test engineers and test teams.

[0004] PRIOR ART

[0005] Existing software testing tools are inadequate to analyze the complex and large data sets that arise in large-scale software projects. This inadequacy causes data analysis to be performed manually in software testing processes and the analyses to be carried out inefficiently. This slows down the testing processes of software projects and causes serious problems such as late detection of emerging errors. Especially in projects working with large data sets, the failure to quickly and effectively analyze test data reduces the overall quality of the software and causes negative consequences in the software development process.

[0006] The limited analysis and reporting capabilities of traditional software testing tools are inadequate in the face of the complexity of software testing processes. The test tools used in current techniques are insufficient in providing detailed and real-time data such as test success rate, test coverage rate, error analysis, error density, and test results. This deficiency becomes more apparent as software projects increase in size and complexity. The need for manual test data analysis increases the workload on test engineers, causes time loss, and reduces the overall efficiency of test processes.

[0007] The current analysis and visualization tools used in testing processes only provide superficial data and do not allow for a more detailed analytical examination of testing processes. This inadequacy prevents test data from being analyzed in a way that yields meaningful results and causes significant delays in software development processes. Additionally, problems such as time loss in manual analysis processes of test data, accumulation of large data piles, and failure to correctly identify error patterns arise. This can also lead to a decline in software quality and the delivery of faulty products to end users.

[0008] As a result, the inadequacies in real-time analysis and visualization of test data in current systems and techniques pose a significant problem in software development processes. There is a need for a system that will offer more advanced, Al-powered automated and integrated solutions to reduce the workload of test engineers and ensure faster and more efficient management of testing processes. In this field, it is necessary to develop an innovative system that enables the real-time analytical examination and visualization of test data, the rapid detection of errors, and the provision of continuous feedback to test engineers and managers.

[0009] OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

[0010] The present invention aims to eliminate the abovementioned problems and to make a development in the relevant technical field.

[0011] The present invention aims to provide an innovative test analytics and visualization system that enables the real-time analytical examination and visualization of data obtained from large-scale projects in software testing processes, and the management of data on a central platform. This system will enable test engineers to perform fast, reliable and detailed analytical examinations during testing processes, enabling errors to be detected more quickly. The main object of the present invention is to automatically analyze the test data, to examine the data obtained from the test processes in depth and to detail these data visually.

[0012] The application enables the collection of critical metrics such as test success rate, test coverage rate, old and new defects, defect densities, slow tests and unstable tests on a central platform, allowing systematic analytical reviews to be performed on this data. In this way, test engineers can monitor the performance and errors of the software in real time and quickly take the necessary steps to fix the errors. While aiming to manage and improve testing processes more efficiently in software projects, artificial intelligence analytics modules also enable the optimization of testing processes. Artificial intelligence will help detect patterns and anomalies in test data, enabling early detection of errors and improving software quality. Another object of the present invention is to enable test engineers to make more effective decisions by thoroughly analyzing the data obtained from the test processes. Presenting data graphically will help test engineers understand complex data sets more easily and enable test processes to be managed more effectively. This system will support the continuous improvement of testing processes by providing feedback to test engineers, thereby enhancing the overall quality of software projects. Test engineers can identify errors in the testing process more quickly, optimize software performance, and complete projects faster with the detailed feedback provided by the system.

[0013] The present invention also aims to eliminate time loss, error density, and the inadequacies of manual analysis processes encountered in testing processes in large projects. By providing automated data analytics, the manual analysis burden on test engineers will be reduced and software development processes will become more efficient. Thus, errors will be detected and corrected immediately during software testing processes, enabling the software to be brought to market faster.

[0014] BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0015] The present invention is an innovative test analytics and visualization system that enables the analytical examination and visualization of data generated during software testing processes, with the aim of achieving all the objectives outlined above and those that will emerge from the detailed description below. This system helps test engineers manage their test processes more effectively by collecting data generated during test processes, analyzing, and presenting the same graphically. Software testing processes often involve complex operations requiring analytical review of large data sets, and managing this data correctly has a direct impact on the quality of the software. The present invention is an integrated system designed to manage software testing processes more efficiently, detect errors quickly and present the results in an understandable format. This system provides test engineers with instant analytical reviews, saving time in testing processes and improving the overall quality of software projects.

[0016] A preferred embodiment of the invention comprises data collection module that enables the collection of data obtained from the test processes. The data collection module collects test data from different platforms and devices in a central database and transmits this data to other modules of the application for analytical review. Data collected during testing processes provides critical information about the performance and quality of the software, and collecting this information accurately ensures the efficiency of the analytical review process. The data collection module enables automatic collection of test data, eliminating the need for test engineers to manually manage testing processes and improving the overall performance of the system. This module also ensures data security and accuracy by collecting data in a central structure.

[0017] Another preferred embodiment of the invention is a visualization module that enables the analyzed test data to be presented graphically. The visualization module provides test engineers with test results in an understandable format, allowing for better analytical review of test processes. Visualizing test results gives test engineers a significant advantage when working with large data sets, as presenting data graphically helps detect errors and performance issues more quickly. The visualization module allows identifying difficulties encountered in testing processes and clarifying the actions to be taken to overcome these difficulties. Additionally, through visual data, test engineers can easily monitor metrics such as test success rate, test coverage rate, old and new defects.

[0018] Another preferred embodiment of the invention is a test error detection module that enables the detection of test errors. This module automatically detects errors that occur during testing processes and determines at which stages of the testing processes these errors occur. Defect detection plays a critical role in software testing processes because quickly identifying and resolving defects improves the overall quality of the software. The test error detection module enables the application to automatically detect and report errors without requiring test engineers to manually search for errors encountered in the software. This module helps to resolve problems encountered during testing processes more quickly and shortens the delivery time of software projects.

[0019] Another preferred embodiment of the invention comprises a feedback mechanism that enables the analyzed test data to be presented to the users. The feedback module provides test engineers with continuous information about the status of their testing processes and allows them to improve their testing processes based on this information. The feedback mechanism informs test engineers about errors and performance issues detected during testing processes and suggests improvements that need to be made to increase the quality of the software. This feedback accelerates test engineers' decisionmaking processes and ensures that software projects are completed more efficiently. The system analyzes any issues encountered during testing processes and provides users with detailed feedback, enabling continuous improvement of software processes through this feedback.

[0020] The invention provides an integrated structure that enables the analytical examination and visualization of software testing processes, allowing software engineers to manage test data more effectively and perform analytical reviews. Analytically examining data collected during testing processes on a central platform, presenting the same graphically, and supporting the same with a feedback mechanism enables more reliable and faster results by improving the overall quality of software projects. The invention reduces the workload of test engineers and increases the efficiency of software testing processes.
