  • Abstract
    Many articles have been written on testability cost functions and measures. Most of them point to the work of Lawrence Goldstein as one of the first major contributions in this field.4 In this column, the author describes his personal familiarity with some of this early work in an effort to clarify the genesis of these ideas.
