H. Hecht, M. Hecht, D. Wallace, "Toward More Effective Testing for High Assurance
Systems", IEEE Computer Magazine, "Integrated Design, Development and Evaluation
for High Assurance Systems", April 1998
Testing software for high assurance systems is at present a very expensive activity
and one for which there are no generally accepted guidelines. A part of the problem
is that failure mechanisms for software are not as readily understood as those for
hardware, and that the experience of any one project does not provide enough data
to improve the understanding. A more comprehensive attack on the high cost of software
test requires pooling of fault and failure data from many projects, and an initiative
by NIST that call furnish for the data collection and analysis is described.
