On Data Flow Testing Strategy
Tianai Chen, Jiale Mao · WIT transactions on information and communication technologies · 1970
For the studies on the data flow oriented selection of test data [4], [5], [6], [8], the selection strategies are all based on the intuition that an incorrect definition could never be uncovered if its use is not tested. In this paper, we are proposing another data flow oriented selection strategy based on the intuition that errors tend to be clustered together and are more likely to be associated with the improper or bad programming practice. It has been found that our strategy is complementary to [4], [5], [6] and [8], and can be incorporated at nominal overheads with Laski and Korel's strategy [5].
