In this paper, I’ll do two things. First, I’ll attempt to demolish a bad model, the quite popular “V model”. In the process, I hope to banish the phrases “unit testing” and “integration testing” from our vocabularies. Second, I’ll describe a model I think is better. But my primary purpose is not to claim I have the right model – it’s too early for...   Read Article.

On average, programmers create six to eight defects in every 100 lines of code (LOC) [11. They create 12 to 20 defects per 100 LOC if the code is not structured and is poorly documented. These defect rates improve to two to three defects per 100 LOC if the code is structured and documented. However, the rates only improve to one to 1.5 defects per 100...   Read Article.

We accept that testing the software is an integral part of building a system. However, if the software is based on inaccurate requirements, then despite well written code, the software will be unsatisfactory. The newspapers are full of stories about catastrophic software failures. What the stories don't say is that most of the defects can be traced...   Read Article.

The highest risk that software development organizations face today is allowing defects to creep into the releases made for their high-paying customers. At times, either due to fear of losing the order, or due to overconfidence, organizations allow defects to ship. Time to market and (practically) defect-free products are the two pillars of any successful...   Read Article.

Advanced Coverage Metrics for Object-Oriented Software The use of structural coverage metrics to measure the thoroughness of a test set is a well-understood technique. However, the application of the technique to objectoriented software presents new challenges. This paper presents object-oriented context coverage, a new way to measure coverage for...   Read Article.

Structural Coverage metrix This paper provides a discussion of structural test coverage metrics, looking at the practicality of their use for real software developments. It concludes that some metrics are unsuitable for real use, and recommends suitable combinations of structural coverage metrics for testing a range of integrity levels. It should...   Read Article.
