  • Descrição: Software testing is a complex area since it has a large number of specific methods, processes and strategies, involving a lot of domain concepts. Therefore, it would be valuable to have a conceptualized software testing ontology that explicitly and unambiguously defines the concepts. Consequently, it is important to find out the available evidence in the literature on primary studies for software testing ontologies. In particular, we are looking for research that has a rich ontological coverage that includes Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs) and Functional Requirements (FRs) concepts in conjunction with static and dynamic testing concepts, which can be used in method and process specifications for a family of testing strategies. The main goal for this secondary study is to identify, evaluate and synthesize the available primary studies on conceptualized software testing ontologies. To conduct this study, we use the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, which follows our enhanced SLR process. We set three research questions. Additionally, to quantitatively evaluate the quality of the selected conceptualized ontologies, we designed a NFRs tree and its associated metrics and indicators. We obtained 12 primary studies documenting conceptualized testing ontologies by using three different retrieval methods. In general, we noted that most of them have a lack of NFRs and static testing terminological coverage. Finally, we observe that none of them is directly linked with FRs and NFRs conceptual components. A general benefit of having the suitable software testing ontology is to minimize the current heterogeneity, ambiguity and incompleteness problems in terms, properties and relationships. We have confirmed that exists heterogeneity, ambiguity, and incompleteness for concepts dealing with testing artifacts, roles, activities, and methods. Moreover, we did not find the suitable ontology for our aim since none of the conceptualized ontologies are directly linked with NFRs and FRs components.
