Verifiable Coverage Criteria for Automated Testing
Conference paper
Abstract
A key question for system testing of a software product is how to determine that the semantics of its requirements is adequately realized in the given implementation, or alternatively to find a series of concrete counter-examples demonstrating the violation of (a) particular requirement(s). An adequate test suite will aid in this determination. This paper formulates three types of requirements coverage criteria to establish the adequacy of a test suite. The suggested approach to system testing was validated in a number of medium and large size industrial projects.
