Se describe el proceso y los resultados de una investigación que tiene como objetivo determinar el nivel de madurez de la automatización. Se realizó una revisión sistemática de la literatura en la que se encontraron 978 trabajos que describen modelos de madurez de las pruebas del software y/o analizan la eficacia y la eficiencia de la automatización hasta el momento. Luego de un proceso de análisis y de aplicar los criterios de inclusión/exclusión y de valoración a la calidad se extrajeron 26 trabajos. La conclusión final es que el nivel de madurez actual de la automatización de las pruebas del software es Adolescente.]]></p></abstract>
