Relationship Between Test Effectiveness and Coverage
Ye Ran, Yashwant K. Malaiya · 2002
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.
