2.1.3 Business Objectives

 Launch AgileFlow within 12 months.

 Capture 10% of the target market in the first year.

 Establish long-term partnerships with businesses seeking project management

innovations.

3. Software Validation

3.1 Testing Framework

TechGrowth Solutions utilizes the JUnit testing framework to run program tests. JUnit is well-

established in the industry and provides a robust and standardized way to perform unit testing in

Java. It ensures that each unit of code functions as intended before integration.

3.2 Development Testing

Continuous integration is achieved through Travis CI. This CI tool allows the team to maintain

code integrity during development by automatically testing code changes. It ensures that the

software remains stable and reliable throughout the development process.

3.3 Release Testing

Before each software release, an extensive testing process is conducted. This includes:

 Regression Testing: Verifying that new features do not adversely affect existing

functionalities.

 Integration Testing: Ensuring that integrated modules function as expected.

3.4 User Acceptance Testing

User acceptance testing is a collaborative process involving close communication with clients.

This ensures that the software meets their expectations and requirements.

4. Software Evolution

4.1 Evolving to Meet Client Needs

TechGrowth Solutions is committed to adapting the software to changing client needs. This is

achieved through:

 Regular client communication to gather feedback.

 Prioritization of updates and enhancements based on client feedback.

4.2 Software Evolution Process

The software evolution process follows an iterative and incremental model. Each iteration

involves:

 Assessing client feedback.

 Identifying improvement areas.

 Implementing changes.

4.3 Change Management Process

The change management process for software maintenance includes:

 Change Request Analysis: Evaluating the impact and feasibility of proposed changes.

 Prioritization: Assigning priorities based on client needs and system requirements.

 Testing and Validation: Rigorous testing before implementing changes to prevent

disruptions.

 Documentation: Keeping comprehensive records of all changes made.

5. Conclusion

In conclusion, the comprehensive software validation approach and agile software evolution

process at TechGrowth Solutions ensure the delivery of high-quality software that evolves with

clients' changing needs. The JUnit testing framework, Travis CI for development testing, release

testing, and user acceptance testing collectively contribute to a robust validation process. The

agile software evolution process, marked by flexibility and client-centricity, is supported by a

well-defined change management process for effective software maintenance.
