Abstract

There is a critical need for approaches to support software testing. Our research exploits the information described at Architectural Patterns to drive the definition of tests. As a result, we intend to assist developers in finding relatively shorter and cheaper paths to high dependable software.

Testability is a relevant characteristic to evaluate software quality and it is addressed in most quality models. This characteristic is directly related to software testing activities and defines how easily a program can be tested. However, ...

ATS '00: Proceedings of the 9th Asian Test Symposium

The purpose of a testability analysis program is to estimate the difficulty of testing a fault. A good measurement can give an early warning about the testing problem so as to provide guidance in improving the testability of a circuit. There have been ...

Testing is essential to ensure software reliability and dependability. however, testing activities are very expensive and complex. Micro architectures, such as design patterns and anti-patterns, widely exist in object oriented systems and are recognized ...
