Abstract: Software Testing is an important process of software development that is performed to support and enhance reliability and quality of the software. It consist of estimating testing effort, selecting suitable test team, designing test cases, executing the software with those test cases and examining the results produced by those executions. Studies indicate that more than fifty percent of the cost of software development is devoted to testing, with the percentage for testing critical software being even higher. Unless we can predict the testing effort and find efficient ways to perform effective testing, the percentage of development costs devoted to testing will increase significantly coupled with mismatch in project costing and development schedule. In order to estimate the testing effort, this paper makes an attempt to establish Cognitive Information Complexity Measure (CICM) as an appropriate estimation tool.

Estimation of Software Development Effort from Requirements Based Complexity
TL;DR: The result obtained validates the claim that the proposed SDE measure is systematic, comprehensive and compares well with other prevalent SDE measures and is even more useful because the complexity and SDE estimates are obtained at very early stage of software development life cycle (SDLC) as compared to other software development effort practices proposed in the past.

TL;DR: This paper presents a systematic and integrated approach for the estimation of software development and testing effort on the basis of improved requirement based complexity (IRBC) of the proposed software to enable the developers and practitioners to predict the critical information about the software development intricacies.

Method and System for Evaluating the Testing of a Software System Having a Plurality of Components
Vikrant Kaulgud,Rohit Punja,Hillel Solomon Awaskar +2 more
- 15 Apr 2011
TL;DR: In this paper, a measure of quality of testing effort is defined based on the amount of software code of the plurality of components that has been tested during the testing project, and the test results at completion of the testing are developed by forecasting projected values of at least one metric at the time of the test.

ORBDA: An openEHR benchmark dataset for performance assessment of electronic health record servers.
Douglas Teodoro,Douglas Teodoro,Erik Sundvall,Mario João Júnior,Patrick Ruch,Sergio Miranda Freire +5 more
TL;DR: It is believed that ORBDA is a valuable asset for assessing storage models for openEHR-based information systems during the software engineering process and may also be a suitable component in future standardised benchmarking of available openE HR storage platforms.

A Complexity Measure
TL;DR: Several properties of the graph-theoretic complexity are proved which show, for example, that complexity is independent of physical size and complexity depends only on the decision structure of a program.

A complexity measure
Thomas J. McCabe
- 04 Oct 1993
TL;DR: In this paper, a graph-theoretic complexity measure for managing and controlling program complexity is presented. But the complexity is independent of physical size, and complexity depends only on the decision structure of a program.

Software metrics: roadmap

TL;DR: The recommended approach is to handle the key factors largely missing from the usual metrics approaches, namely: causality, uncertainty, and combining different (often subjective) evidence.
Realism in assessment of effort estimation uncertainty: it matters how you ask
TL;DR: It is proposed that it is better to frame the request for uncertainty assessment: "How likely is it that the actual effort will be more than/less than X?"

Cognitive process during program debugging

TL;DR: In a case study, all six levels of Bloom's taxonomy of cognitive learning, from "knowledge through "comprehension", " application", "analysis", "synthesis", and "evaluation", are found, indicating that program debugging is a difficult cognitive task.
