Reliability and Quality Control – Practice and Experience 38 SOFTWARE QUALITY VERIFICATION THROUGH EMPIRICAL TESTING

Included is research that contributes to raising the quality of programs written in C/C++. Empirical testing was tackled. The empirical nature is characterized by the partial quality of its elements, the absence of systematic behavior in the process and the idea of random attempts at program behavior. Empirical testing methods are used the program as a black box view, as well as for the source code. Software testing at source level pursues raising the tree-like coverage associated with the code. There are known indicators for quantifying the test methods and measuring their efficiency upon programs by an empirical approach, as well as measuring the program quality level.
