Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.
  • Aalto University students and staff members may print black-and-white prints on the PrintingPoint devices when using the computer with personal Aalto username and password. Color printing is possible using the printer u90203-psc3, which is located near the customer service. Color printing is subject to a charge to Aalto University students and staff members.
  • Other customers can use the printer u90203-psc3. All printing is subject to a charge to non-University members.

Abstract (eng): Commercial software development for multi-platform products places is challenging and often conflicting goals of short release schedules, limited resources and rigorous testing across supported platforms demanding an automation solution to cover testing of multiple platforms.

This study documents the implementation of a multi-platform test automation framework with the goal of improving software quality.
The implementation covers three generations of the framework.
The first generation is successful in introducing automation to the testing process but uncovers many of the challenges.
The second implementation applies the lessons learned in the first one producing an effective framework for multi-platform testing based on applying a layer which abstracts platform details from test case development.
The third generation improves upon the implementation by introducing better mechanisms of software reuse and an object oriented approach to test case design.

An analysis of the solution shows that the automation was successful in its goal of improving software quality by reducing the effort required to test on multiple platforms and identifying platform specific defects early in the development process.
