Block-based test data adequacy measurement criteria and test complexity metrics

Abstract: On the basis of software testing tools we developed for programming languages, we firstly present a new control flowgraph model based on block. In view of the notion of block, we extend the traditional program-based software test data adequacy measurement criteria, and empirically analyze the subsume relation between these measurement criteria. Then, we define four test complexity metrics based on block. They are J-complexity 0; J-complexity 1; J-complexity 1 +; J-complexity 2. Finally, we show the Kiviat diagram that makes software quality visible.

Key words: block, node, segment, control flowgraph model, test data adequacy measurement criteria, test complexity metric, Kiviat diagram
