Abstract
Software testability is becoming an important factor to be considered during software development and assessment, especially for critical software. We give software testability, previously defined by Voas, a new model and measurement which is done before random black-box testing with respect to a particular input distribution. We also compare our measurement results with the results simulated according to Voas´s model. It showed that our rough testability estimate provides enough information and will be used as guidelines for software development
