The production process of the Information Sciences University has been certified CMMI level 2. The Process and Product Quality Assurance process area has been defined and software testing subprocesses within it. Software testing subprocesses are complex because of the volume of documentation generated and the diverse knowledge levels of professionals involved; causing difficulties in its overall comprehension for an adequate institutionalization. The present paper aims to develop an ontology that supports the software testing subprocesses in the Information Sciences University, allowing the consistency, organization and communication of the generated knowledge. The methodology “Methontology” was applied for the construction of the present ontology. The ontology includes the knowledge of the professionals involved in the software testing, as well as the applicable knowledge represented by various sources, like the NC ISO / IEC 25000 standard, the procedures defined in the entity, among others. This ontology offers a common vocabulary and solves the problems of inconsistencies and integrity detected. To validate the proposal a tool was implemented, allowing to answer the competencies questions previously defined in the investigation, and the validation service of W3C was used to validate the consistency of the ontology. By this mean, the quality of the ontological proposal was guaranteed.

Keywords : Knowledge Management; Ontologies; Software Testing.
