Data underlying the Bachelor Thesis: Using Newsletters to Analyze Curated Software Testing Content

The objective of this research was to analyze curated content published via newsletters and find out what software testing knowledge was present in those resources. Software Testing newsletters were analyzed in this research and the AtlasTI software was used with a grounded theory approach to tag the resources mentioned in these newsletters. The resources were obtained by visiting multiple curated software testing-related newsletters and downloading articles as PDFs. After downloading, open/axial coding was used to code each file based on various different categories. The attached excel files provide a detailed view of what common software testing technologies, techniques, problems, and more are mentioned in newsletter resources. This data set is linked to a bachelor thesis completed at the EEMCS faculty at the TU Delft. A link will be added after publication.

本研究旨在分析通过通讯（newsletter）发布的精选汇编内容，以探究其中蕴含的软件测试相关知识。本研究针对软件测试通讯展开分析，采用扎根理论（grounded theory）法结合AtlasTI软件对通讯中提及的资源进行标注。研究所需的资源通过访问多家精选软件测试相关通讯，并将其中文章以PDF格式下载获取。下载完成后，采用开放式编码（open coding）/主轴式编码（axial coding）法，基于多种不同类别对每份文件进行编码。附件中的Excel文件详细展示了软件测试通讯资源中提及的常见软件测试技术、方法、问题及其他相关内容。本数据集与代尔夫特理工大学（TU Delft）电子工程、数学与计算机科学学院（EEMCS）完成的一篇学士学位论文相关联。论文发表后将补充相关链接。
