Question

What is the purpose of test adequacy criteria in software development?

a.

To determine the cost-effectiveness of testing activities

b.

To measure the adequacy of a test set

c.

To focus on detecting faults

d.

To determine the coverage of the product to be tested

Posted under Software Engineering

Answer: (b).To measure the adequacy of a test set Explanation:Since exhaustive testing is generally not feasible, we have to select an adequate set of test cases. Test techniques can be classified according to the criterion used to measure the adequacy of this a test set.
