..... 100 C.32 Test LOC Tutor . 100 xii Introduction Software testing is a crucial element of Software Engineering. Testing can account for approximately half of the labor required to produce a working product [1]. Without proper planning and effective tests, development costs can increase dramatically during software development as unexpected failures emerge. In many cases, removing the errors that caused the failures, or bugs, becomes the single largest cost in software development [1] Error removal ....
....a working product [1] Without proper planning and effective tests, development costs can increase dramatically during software development as unexpected failures emerge. In many cases, removing the errors that caused the failures, or bugs, becomes the single largest cost in software development [1]. Error removal requires detection, correction, tests designed to detect them, and the execution of those tests. A common lesson Computer Science students learn at the beginning of their college careers is that the longer a bug remains undiscovered, the costlier it is to fix. In other words, as ....

....to describe the relevant features of most covalidation fault models. 2.1 Textual Fault Models A textual fault model is one which is applied directly to the original textual behavioral description. The simplest textual fault model is the statement coverage metric introduced in software testing [3] which associates a potential fault with each line of code, and requires that each statement in the description be executed during testing. This model is very efficient since the number of potential faults is equal to the number of lines of code. On the other hand, it is well accepted 1 ....
....to describe a large set of design defects. 2.2 Control Dataflow Fault Models A number of covalidation fault models are based on the traversal of paths through the CDFG representing to the system behavior. The earliest control dataflow fault models include branch coverage and path coverage [3] models used in software testing. The branch coverage metric associates potential faults with each direction of each conditional in the CDFG. Branch coverage requires that the set of all CDFG paths covered during covalidation include both directions of all binaryvalued conditionals. Branch ....

....many times the veri ed system is not the program code itself but some abstraction of it. Therefore, we cannot immediately ensure the correctness of the veri cation but it is also necessary to verify the correctness of the abstraction or simpli cation. 6. 2 Testing Testing (see [Mye79, Bei90, KFN93, Pat00] is a veri cation method which consists in executing the program that we want to verify and analyzing the executions (patterns) to detect errors. Each pattern is compared with the expected result and if they do not coincide, then an error is signed. This technique is based on the ....

....techniques are derived from the specifications and then applied [6] To ensure that intimate association with a module does not influence testing, this task is usually performed by person(s) other than the programmer. In the case of unit testing, the programmer and the tester is the same person [7]. However, in the case where the software development model used is Extreme Programming (XP) the programmer first designs the unit tests from the specifications before any code is implemented. It is only after some code is written that it can be exercised by the unit tests. One hundred percent ....
....that measures the amount of code that is exercised by the test cases. Boris Beizer claims that during unit testing 100 coverage is necessary, and that this level of coverage usually drops as modules are combined or as testing is done on huge systems of approximately 10 million lines of code [7]. On the other hand, Brian Marick conducted a study where he examined the different granularities of coverage, which will be discussed further in Section 2 [12] From his study, he claimed that 100 of feasible coverage is an acceptable level of coverage to achieve. 2 Of the different coverage ....

....associated view of quality that we use the terms verification and validation for the process rather than testing to indicate the wide life cycle view of defect detection. Such a process is more than applying some form of test data selection technique like white, or black box testing [1, 34] to achieve a specific level of code (white box) or requirements (black box) coverage. The process actively involves system users. The final point to make is the importance of structured quality checks throughout development. Technologies like the Internet introduce many non functional ....

.... becomes an expensive phase which approximately requires 50 of the total e ort[19] Software testing and quality costs for manufactured items can be as low as 2 in consumer products or as high as 80 in products such as space ships, nuclear reactors and aircraft, where failure threatens life[3]. Success of testing depends on the test cases that are chosen. We should choose those test cases which cause failures. Several heuristics and methods have been proposed to choose the fault revealing test cases. All the heuristics can be broadly divided into two categories: Black box testing ....

....coverage, e.g. function coverage or statement coverage, etc. 4. TEST CASE PRIORITIZATION BASED ON BOUNDARY VALUE COVERAGE Since a large number of faults tend to occur at boundaries of the input domain, testing boundary values has been extensively discussed in software testing handbooks [21][2][3] Most past research work in boundary value coverage has generally focused on test case generation instead of test case assessment, which can be used in regression testing, e.g. test case selection or test case prioritization, due in part to lack of tool support to collect boundary value ....

....overall cost of software [11, 17] Regression testing is an important part of maintenance, performed when software is modified to help ensure that it has not lost required functionality. Because regression testing is performed frequently, it can account for a large proportion of maintenance costs [1, 10, 17]. To reduce the cost of regression testing, engineers often save their test suites for use in retesting that software. As the software evolves, they add tests to these suites. As a result, the costs of maintaining and using the test suites increase. Several techniques have been devised for ....
