Automação de testes do sistema integrado de gestão de atividades acadêmicas

Abstract

Software quality is a fundamental characteristic for a company's success because good quality practices increase the chances of delivering a product that meets customer expectations. In this context, the present work addresses the impact of validating the requirements of the Integrated Academic Activities Management System of the Federal Farroupilha Institute (SIGAA) through test automation for its key processes, using the Cypress framework. The main objectives of this work are to achieve an effective test automation strategy to enhance the software development process quality, ensure test efficiency, and reduce development costs and time. To achieve this, it was necessary to identify essential test cases for automation, implement these tests using Cypress in the most used functionalities of the system, including user authentication, student management, enrollment features, and internal communication, ensuring correct test execution and obtaining reliable and consistent results. Additionally, the work presents the data obtained from test automation. By following standardized code development practices, the aim is to increase development process efficiency and reduce the risk of errors and software failures. These findings have significant implications for the continuous development and improvement of educational management systems.
