Design for Testability in Software Systems

Building reliable software is becoming more and more important considering that software applications are becoming pervasive in our daily lives. The need for more reliable software requires that, amongst others, it is adequately tested to give greater confidence in its ability to perform as expected. However, testing software becomes a tedious task as the size and complexity of software increas...

Testability of Software Systems

Software testing is one of the most expensive phase of the software development life cycle. Testing object oriented software is more expensive due to various features like abstraction, inheritance etc. The cost of testing can be reduced by improving the software testability. Software testability of a class is generally measured in terms of the testing effort which is equal to the number of test...

Design-for-Testability for Object-Oriented Software

There are many reasons why object-oriented (OO) design and development has become the norm for software creation. Two primary reasons are the positive impacts that abstraction/inheritance and information hiding have on the development process. There is little debate that data abstraction coupled with inheritance provides a powerful software design mechanism. Likewise, hiding data and internal o...
