Software Testing Adequacy and Fault-detecting Ability Analysis for Black-box
Fangmei Wu · Jisuanji gongcheng · 2001
In the condition of white-box, the adequacy of software testing can be measured by sentence coverage, distinguish coverage, condition coverage, distinguish/condition coverage, route coverage and so on. But these coverage metrics methods based on program can not be applied in the condition of black-box. Therefor this paper puts foreword a concept of software testing adequacy based on outside attributes, that is on the function coverage. However it is not enough that a more complex safety-critical software only meet the software testing adequacy of function coverage, it should add the safety extension testing. After analyzing the fault-detecting ability of software testing technique in the black-box condition, the conclusion that the software safety testing technique based on the independent assessment organization have the condition to find more software hazard faults in theory.
