An Introduction to the Software Technique Oriented Software Faults Test Model
Gong Yun-zha · 2004
The software testing method oriented to faults will be the main field of software testing technique in the future. Comparing with traditional testing methods, this method is more efficient and to the point, especially when it is used to deal with faults hard to be detected by traditional methods, such as bad memory allocation fault, memory leak fault, out bounds of array fault, null pointer reference fault, and uninitialized variables fault. It is historic and marks the maturity of a testing theory. Two key problems lie in software testing method oriented to faults. One is faults model, and the other is automatic testing method. The former is focused on in this paper.
