Abstract
A blockchain-based framework for distributed agile software testing life cycle is an innovative approach that uses blockchain technology to optimize the software testing process. Previously, various methods were employed to address communication and collaboration challenges in software testing, but they were deficient in aspects such as trust, traceability, and security. Additionally, a significant cause of project failure was the non-completion of unit testing by developers, leading to delayed testing. This paper integration of blockchain technology in software testing resolves critical concerns related to transparency, trust, coordination, and communication. We have proposed a blockchain based framework named as TestingPlus. TestingPlus framework utilizes blockchain technology to provide a secure and transparent platform for acceptance testing and payment verification. By leveraging…
