Research of software testing adequacy based on statistical coverage testing technology
Tang Ming-duan · Systems engineering and electronics · 2004
The confidence-based statistical coverage testing technology is studied, and testing adequacy is discussed based on statistical coverage testing technology, described as 'it can be at least C confident that the probability of finding a new coverage item (such as statement, branche, path etc.) in the next test is less than or equal to a required positive number B'. Furthermore, the relationship between statistical testing technology and failure rate of software reliability is researched. Based on statistical testing technology, the method for measuring failure rate of the software is presented.
