Testability is the probability whether tests will detect a fault, given that a fault in the program exists. How efficiently the faults will be uncovered depends upon the testability of the software. Various researchers have proposed qualitative and quantitative techniques to improve and measure the testability of software. In literature, a plethora of reliability growth models have been used to...

Software testability the tendency for software to reveal its faults during testing is an important issue for veri cation and quality assurance Testability measurement can also be used to good advantage as a debugging aide In this paper we propose using testability measures for assertion place ment and fault isolation One measure of testability is a technique termed Sensitivity Analysis This tec...

Present research in design for testability has largely been connned to the logic level. In this paper we present directions for research in design for testability at the layout or physical design level. These are illustrated for bridge faults in circuits consisting of CMOS standard cells.

A prerequisite for unit testing is the possibility to test the unit under test in isolation. Ignoring this requirement during system design and implementation can severely decrease the testability of a software system. This article describes design guidelines and metrics which support software developers in avoiding testability problems.

Testability is an essential criterion for software quality and it is always difficult to measure. Multicriteria Decision Making (MCDM) approaches are very effectively and widely used in predicting the quality of the software. MCDM techniques are very helpful in ambiguous range of decisions. It has the ability to grip the uncertainty of pairwise comparisons. In this paper, multicriteria decision...

The evaluation of Graphical User Interface has significant role to improve its quality. Very few metrics exists for the evaluation of Graphical User Interface. The purpose of metrics is to obtain better measurements in terms of risk management, reliability forecast, project scheduling, and cost repression. In this paper structural complexity metrics is proposed for the evaluation of Graphical U...
