Project description: Software quality assurance is a crucial aspect that has been a focus of interest to the research community and the business sector. In addition, with the continued advancement of information technology, it is crucial that this quality assurance occurs in an early stages of the life cycle of software, and a most systematic way possible, including even, automation. The essential idea of this project is to research in the early incorporation of user validation software and incorporating techniques that allow a run tests early. Both will be potentially applied in the life cycle of software development, focusing on agile and bimodal environments, and the business process management involving complex, flexible and multiorganizational such us aeronautics and some other industrial developments, the ehealth.
