    Depth of inheritance tree (DIT) is considered as a factor influencing the cost of testing. Test is supposed to be more expensive if DIT is high. This paper relates the analysis of DIT with respect to the number of methods to test in each class. Our study based on more than 1700 classes from 6 Java applications.
