Industry Usability Reporting In October 1997, the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) initiated an effort to increase the visibility of software usability. Cooperating in the IUSR project are prominent suppliers of software and representatives from large consumer organizations. The goals of the initiative are:
This site provides an overview of the project, who is involved and white papers on progress to date. Further, there is a common industry format template and guideline for conduction and reporting on usability assessments. |

A State-Based Testing Approach Providing Data Flow Coverage in Object-Oriented Class Testing The object-oriented class testing approach, proposed in this paper, combines functional with structural testing techniques. Based on state-based testing, test cases generated from the MACT (Method for Automatic Class Testing) tool can be used to execute functional testing. |

An Automated Testing Environment to Support Operational Profiles of Software Intensive Systems This paper focuses on the successes and issues associated with developing a statistical testing environment for an industrial software project. The paper will also describe how both statistical testing based on software models and traditional testing based on unit and other functional tests can be combined into an effective approach to testing large software intensive systems. |
