Abstract

Faced with their massive demand for software products, their quality has been increasingly questioned and, consequently, the quality of the processes by which they are produced. Different institutions have developed different models and standards for the continuous improvement of these development processes, mainly focused on the testing stage. Even in this proliferation of improvement models, there are none applicable to software developing SMEs in our region, industries that count with many opportunities but face challenges such as lack of resources, skills and experience in their pursuit to create quality software and survive in the market. This article presents a management proposal that allows to improve the testing process to obtain higher quality software products in SMEs in the region, based on a set of successful methods for software testing in large companies.
