SwTOI (Software Test Ontology Integrated): uma Ontologia com Aplicação em Teste do Linux.

Abstract

This work encompasses elements of a study of knowlwedge representation founded on ontologies that have Linux testing as target domain. The study aims at demonstrating that once knowledge is formalised, it is possible to reuse it, to perform inference, to process it throuch computers, and, what is more, it becames amenable to being communicated between people and software. Towards that, three ontlogies have been developed: OSOnto (Operating System Ontology) which represents concepts of the operating system domain, SwTO (Software Test Ontology) which deals with the software testing domain, and SwTOI (SwTO Integrated) which represents concepts of both the above domains in an integrated way. For implementing the ontologies, OWL DL as ontology specification language, Prot´eg´e as ontology edition environment and Racer as the main reasoner, have been used. A quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the SwTOI ontology has been performed.
