Chi-Ming Marvin Chung, W.C. Pai · 2002
A number of testing path selection criteria have been proposed. These criteria can be categorized as falling between all-statements criterion and all-paths criterion. In order to help software developers to adopt an appropriate testing technology to test software, this paper proposes a quantitative analysis basis of the comparison among different testing criteria, including all-p-uses/some-c-uses criterion, all-c-uses/some-p-uses criterion, all-p-uses criterion and all-c-uses criterion. The analysis is based on the different rules of selecting testing path of these criteria. A theoretical basis for measuring testing efforts and a number of testing metrics are proposed. The results will be good guideline for selecting proper testing criteria.>
