Synopsis

This book presents the ASSET system—a tool designed by the author to analyze and assist in software testing. ASSET determines whether a given set of test data meets chosen evaluation criteria by analyzing the software's data flow. The criteria are based on theories of program-based test data selection and adequacy criteria. The book provides examples within the context of a subset of Pascal, discussing such concepts as data flow testing, path selection criteria, data flow anomalies, and debugging. The author positions their work within a broader context of software engineering, emphasizing the importance of test data selection and evaluation in ensuring software reliability. The book concludes by suggesting that the ASSET system serves as a valuable tool for enhancing software quality.
