Relationship Between Test Effectiveness and Coverage
نویسندگان
چکیده
A model has recently been developed that relates test coverage and defect coverage. It has been shown that this model can be used to estimate the residual defect density. Defect finding capability of sets of tests with different coverage values has recently been studied by Frankl and Iakounenko. They have defined measure test effectiveness, and have evaluated it for programs containing a single fault. Here we explore the applicability of Malaiya et al’s model to the test data reported by Frankl and Iakounenko.

The Impact of Test Case Prioritization on Test Coverage versus Defects Found
Prior studies demonstrate the importance of the relationship between code coverage and defects found to determine the effectiveness of test inputs. The variation of defect coverage with code coverage has been studied for a fixed execution sequence of test cases. We conducted an experiment to evaluate hypotheses expressed in two research questions. The first question addresses the relationship b...
متن کاملThe Relationship between Iranian EFL Learners' Reading Comprehension, Vocabulary Size and Lexical Coverage of the Text: The Case of Narrative and Argumentative Genres
This study explored the relationship between EFL learners’ vocabulary size, lexical coverage of the text and reading comprehension texts (narrative & argumentative genres). To this end, 120 male and female out of 180 students studying at Talesh Azad University were selected based on their performance on the Nelson Proficiency Test. A Nelson reading proficiency test was also administered in orde...
متن کاملEvidence-Informed Deliberative Processes for Universal Health Coverage: Broadening the Scope; Comment on “Priority Setting for Universal Health Coverage: We Need Evidence-Informed Deliberative Processes, Not Just More Evidence on Cost-Effectiveness”
Universal health coverage (UHC) is high on the global health agenda, and priority setting is fundamental to the fair and efficient pursuit of this goal. In a recent editorial, Rob Baltussen and colleagues point to the need to go beyond evidence on cost-effectiveness and call for evidence-informed deliberative processes when setting priorities for UHC. Such processes are crucial at every step on...
متن کاملAre concurrency coverage metrics effective for testing: a comprehensive empirical investigation
Testing multithreaded programs is inherently challenging, as programs can exhibit numerous thread interactions. To help engineers test these programs cost-effectively, researchers have proposed concurrency coverage metrics. These metrics are intended to be used as predictors for testing effectiveness and provide targets for test generation. The effectiveness of these metrics, however, remains l...
متن کاملExperiments on the Effectiveness of Dataflow- and Controlflow-Based Test Adequacy Criteria
This paper reports an experimental study investigating the effectiveness of two code-based test adequacy criteria for identifying sets of test cases that detect faults. The alledges and all-D Us (modified all-uses) coverage criteria were applied to 130 faulty program versions derived from seven moderate size base programs by seeding realistic faults. We generated several thousand test sets for ...
