Software development techniques-Combining testing and metrics

Path complexity techniques (PCTs) are proposed for guiding, testing and measuring software complexity. PCT combines the idea of metrics and testing methodologies that can be applied in testing to guide test path selection as well as software complexity measurements. Software metrics and testing methodologies are illustrated. Two test criteria, intralevel first and interlevel first, are presented. The idea of the most complicated path is introduced. Some algorithms associated with the most complicated path are presented
