Analyse et amelioration du processus de test d'une equipe de developpement dans le domaine du divertissement (French text)

This thesis presents the analysis and improvement of a software test process in the context of video game development. More specifically, this paper treats of the analysis of software defects produced by a development team and of the application of new testing methods to improve the test practices. The team studied in this research is responsible for the development of the engine and tools related to the audio aspects of video games.; This research has many objectives. The first objective is to expose summarily the entertainment software's development process. The second objective is to identify a classification metric suitable for the extraction of information regarding the test process. This is done by the analysis of current literature. The main objective is to adapt the formal metric identified to the studied informal development environment to describe the current state of the team's test practices. The final objective aims at the improvement of the test process through the application of new test methods and to measure this potential improvement with a second data analysis.
