Wang Cheng-Zhi · Measurement & Control Technology · 2009

With the development of software testing,the requirements on software evaluation get more and more imperative.It's essential to clear the relationship between software testing and evaluation.However,the terms in the domain are very disordered and no one can tell the difference systematically.Trying to change the situation,a frame of software testing and evaluation is put forward.The main features of the frame include:① Software testing,evaluation and development are explained in a cybernetic context.② Classifying the software testing and evaluation according to several standards,such as software quality model.③ One software testing type corresponds to one software evaluation type.The frame helps to clear the relationship between software testing and software evaluation and understand the activities of software quality assurance and verification validation.
