Estimating software testing complexity
Context: Complexity measures provide us some information about software artifacts. A measure of the difficulty of testing a piece of code could be very useful to take control about the test phase. Objective: The aim in this paper is the definition of a new measure of the difficulty for a computer to generate test cases, we call it Branch Coverage Expectation (BCE). We also analyze the most comm...
متن کاملA Tool for Estimating Software Testing Requirements
We describe a prototype software tool that estimates the number of test cases required to apply particular testing strategies to program subroutines. The tool was used to evaluate the practicability of data ow testing of a commercial text analysis system which runs on microcomputers. Our system was developed from formal speci cations and is implemented in Prolog. It is easily adaptable and can ...
متن کاملEstimating Software Reliability with Hypothesis Testing
We present a method for estimating software reliability, based on statistical hypothesis testing. Our estimations are based on the current version of the software only, and our method is applicable when the current version has not yet failed any random tests. Our method is particularly useful when one desires reliability estimates that are practical to calculate, and that are more accurate than...
متن کاملA Simple Complexity Measurement for Software Verification and Software Testing
In this paper, we used a simple metric (i.e. Lines of Code) to measure the complexity involved in software verification and software testing. The goal is then, to argue for software verification over software testing, and motivate a discussion of how to reduce the complexity involved in software verification. We propose to reduce this complexity by translating the software to a simple intermedi...
متن کاملSelecting Software Testing Criterion based on Complexity Measurement
Software testing is an important process in software quality assurance(SQA). Software testing consumes the majority of the software developers' time and cost of all the phases of system development. An important problem in software testing is to determine whether a program has been tested enough with a testing criterion and when one could stop testing. On the other hand, software measurement is...
