Software testing is a very labor intensive and costly task. Therefore, many software testing techniques to automate the process of software testing have been reported in the literature. Assertion-Based automated software testing has been shown to be effective in detecting program faults as compared to traditional black-box and white-box software testing methods. However, the applicability of this approach in the presence of large numbers of assertions may be very costly. Therefore, software developers need assistance while making decision to apply Assertion-Based testing in order for them to get the benefits of this approach at an acceptable level of costs. In this paper, we present an Assertion-Based testing metrics technique that is based on fuzzy logic. The main goal of the proposed technique is to enhance the performance of Assertion-Based software testing in the presence of large numbers of assertions. To evaluate the proposed technique, an experimental study was performed in which the proposed technique is applied on programs with assertions. The result of this experiment shows that the effectiveness and performance of Assertion-Based software testing have improved when applying the proposed testing metrics technique.

This chapter provides practitioners in the field with a set of guidelines to help them through the process of elaborating an adequate automated testing framework to competently test automatic speech recognition systems. Through this chapter the testing process of such a system is analyzed from different angles, and different methods and techniques are proposed that are well suited for this task.

Testing is broadly classified into three levels: Unit Testing, Addition Testing, and System Testing. Whenever we think of developing any software we always concentrate on making the software bug free and most reliable. At this point of time Testing is used to make the software a bug free. Software Testing has been measured as the most important stage of the software development life cycle. Around 60% of resources and money are cast-off for the testing of software. Testing can be manual or automated. Software testing is an activity that emphases at assessing the competence of a program and commands that it truly meets the excellence results. There are many test cases that help in detecting the bugs so, in this paper we describe about the most commonly used test cases and testing techniques for the error detection.

<p><i>Software Testing is the process of evaluating a software program to ensure that it performs its intended purpose. Software testing verifies the safety, reliability, and correct working of software. The growing need for quality software makes software testing a crucial stage in Software Development Lifecycle. There are many methods of testing software, however, the choice of method to test a given software remains a major problem in software testing. Although, it is often impossible to find all errors in software, employing the right combination of methods will make software testing efficient and successful. Knowing these software testing methods is the key to making the right selection. This paper presents a comprehensive study of software testing methods. An explanation of Testing Categories was presented first, followed by Testing Levels (and their comparison), then Testing Techniques (and their comparison). For each Testing Levels and Testing Techniques, examples of some testing types and their pros and cons were given with a brief explanation of some of the important testing types. Furthermore, a clear and distinguishable explanation of two confused and contradictory terms (Verification and Validation) and how they relate to Software Quality was provided.</i></p>
