Testing
● Basis path testing: run every statement at least once
use graph theory and other mathematical techniques
Testing
● Pareto principle: rapid progress by concentration
a small number of modules contain most of the BUGs
Testing
● Glass-box testing: interior structures known
software testers use such knowledge to design tests
● Black-box testing: interior structures unknown
users test merely correctness, accuracy and timeliness
