Metrics for Measuring the Effectiveness of Software-Testing Tools
نویسندگان
چکیده
The levels of quality, maintainability, testability, and stability of software can be improved and measured through the use of automated testing tools throughout the software development process. Automated testing tools assist software engineers to gauge the quality of software by automating the mechanical aspects of the software-testing task. Automated testing tools vary in their underlying approach, quality, and ease-of-use, among other characteristics. In this paper we propose a suite of objective metrics for measuring tool characteristics, as an aid in systematically evaluating and selecting automated testing tools. 1

Examination of Software Testing Tools Effectiveness
Automated testing tools helps the testers to quantify the quality of software by testing the software .To quantify the quality of software there is always a requirement of good testing tools, which satisfy the testing requirement as per the project. Although there is a wide range of testing tools available in the market and they vary in approach, quality, usability and other characteristics. Se...
متن کاملMeasuring the Effectiveness of Software Testing
In 1978 Harry Sneed set up the first commercial software test laboratory in Budapest charging DM 75,– per test case and DM 100,– for each error found. The laboratory was used to test the Integrated Transport Steuerung system of the German railroad and the BS2000 operating system of Siemens. Today, some 26 years later, managers are looking for a means to justify the cost of testing. While workin...
متن کاملA Single Fromat for Measuring different Aspects of Testing
— In-Process testing metrics has been used from some years and its usage is frequently increasing. There are different metrics for software testing i.e to measure testing progress, Mean time between arrival of error, density of errors, fixation of errors, failure rate, test execution Productivity, cost of defects, Test efficiency and efficiency checking and so on. But all these metrics are inde...
متن کاملMetrics for Evaluating the Performance of Software Tester and Testing Team
The major determining factor of software quality is the effectiveness of testing. The reliability of software project delivered depends on the performance of the individuals in charge for testing the software. Individual testers diverge in their effectiveness and efficiency. The factors contributing to this difference have not been so far well studied. There are no standard methods for assessin...
متن کاملSoftware metrics: measuring Haskell
Software metrics have been used in software engineering as a mechanism for assessing code quality and for targeting software development activities, such as testing or refactoring, at areas of a program that will most benefit from them. Haskell [PJ03] has many tools for software engineering, such as testing, debugging and refactoring tools, but software metrics have been neglected. This paper i...
