Miao Huai · 2004
It is very important choose the testing adequacy criteria in software testing. There exist three testing adequacy criteria in category-partition testing: All-Combination, Each-Choice-Used and base-Choice-Coverage. This paper gives an analysis and comparison among these three criteria. Moreover,a quantitative result of comparison on fault-detecting ability, software reliability and test cost is produced to assist the test engineer in choosing testing adequacy criteria. Finally, this paper gives an analysis by an example of a formal specification based on invoice computing.
