In models and standard international existence spite that allow to evaluate the quality that it possess the developed software products, this it constitutes an aspect that continues being a problem for many organizations that develop software. The software tests possess great importance inside the product development process, due to the time and effort that it bears to carry out them. To contribute the time and effort that it is used for the tests realization to diminish it is had tools that automate in some measure the evaluation process. However, a big number of the tools are de-signed to evaluate traditional software systems, obviating those smaller components that conform these systems. This work is centered in the creation of a plugin to carry out performance tests to software components using aspect-oriented programming in Java, given the necessity to automate this system test type that it lose protagonism before other tests types in many occasions like they could be the functional tests.

The test phase is a difficult process that consumes a large percentage of the cost in terms of the time of the process of software development. The purpose of the tests is to determine if the developed products meet the requirements accord with the users and customers on specifications. Therefore, the processes, methods and tools that allow obtain good sets of test of a system are needed. This article introduces a component that automatically combines values to perform unit tests and for that were applied metaheuristics algorithms. The proposed solution has been tested in a case study, and was compared with values obtained through other algorithms proposed by authors who work the issue in the scientific community. The component allows to obtain a reduced set of test values, with less time of execution and a coverage of 100%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
