Software Testing of Information Systems in Peruvian Public Organizations

Abstract

To have a well-defined process for software tests on computer systems is necessary to ensure the implementation of each system requirement as tested for conformity, which implies a double effort by the staff of development and an additional cost in system maintenance. The objective of this paper is to describe the importance of the software testing process and establishes guidelines to regulate activities and tasks during the development and maintenance of IT systems in the IT areas to confirm that the integrated software product meets the requirements defined, the Peruvian Technical Standard NTP-ISO: 122017: 2016 “Software and Systems Engineering. Software life cycle processes” and the NTP-ISO / IEC 27001 Information TechnologySecurity techniques.Information security management systems, which cover the Life cycle support process, system quality tests, and security in the development and support processes. The key in the proposed model is the definition of roles and responsibilities, the activities of each sub-process, and the use of control templates, which has allowed to reduce failures in systems already in production.
