“…Testability has been identified as a distinct characteristic of software quality. Building programs and components with high level testability always simplifies test process, reduces total test cost and hence increases software quality [3,5]. Researchers proposed different characteristics of software quality ; many of them consider testability as an important part of their quality characteristics [19,20,21,22] .In ISO 1926 quality model (ISO 1991);testability holds a prominent place as part of the reusability characteristic of software quality [4].…”

The quality of any object oriented design is critical because it has a great influence on overall quality of finally delivered software product. Testability quantification early in the software development process is a criterion of crucial important to software development team. Testability has always been an indefinable concept its correct measurement, quantification or evaluation is a difficult task because of its potential factors. Testability analysis of object oriented software at an initial stage of software development process has been identified as a key factor for high quality product. A best suited object oriented design (OOD) properties and its associated metrics are helpful if applied in the early stage of development process .This paper describes an improved testability quantification framework using the identified set of potential factors, OOD properties and OOD metrics for software products at early phase, exclusively at design time. The proposed framework relates OOD properties to high level quality attributes/constructs using appropriate information to develop quality product and it may used to benchmark software products according to their key attribute. The objective of this research work to encourage researchers and developers to provide a framework to access and quantify software testability at early stage of development life cycle.

This paper does a wide-ranging review on object oriented software Reliability, and put forth some appropriate information about design level Reliability. Reliability has been recognized as a major factor to software quality, an importance is being drawn to measure reliability early in development life cycle. In this study a metrics based Reliability Estimation Model for object oriented design has been developed. A suit of design metrics useful in measuring Reliability of software has been identified. Developed model measures the reliability of object oriented design in terms of "Effectiveness" and "Functionality. The study shows a relationship among "design properties with reliability key factors Effectiveness and Functionality in accordance with its anticipated weight and significance. Finally the developed model has been empirically validated and contextual interpretation has been drawn using industrial software projects.

“…Therefore, these identified major testability factors were addressed well in advance while incorporating testability at design stage. By applying the regression method, study already developed Effectiveness Model [3] and Reusability Model [5] that is given in Equations (2) and (3) …”

“…It has been inferred from the literature survey on testability analysis that there is a heavy need of identifying a commonly accepted set of the factors affecting software testability [11] [12] [15] [21]. A significant effort has been prepared to collect a set of software testability factors namely, effectiveness, understandability, simplicity, reusability, self descriptiveness, complexity, traceability and modularity that can affect software testability at design time in development life cycle [3] [5]. Out of these testability factors, some of them have their direct impact in evaluating testability of object oriented software, while other factors have less or negligible impact.…”

“…Object orientated technique has rapidly become accepted as the preferred paradigm in industrial software development environments for large-scale system design [2] [3]. Classes in object oriented system provide an excellent structuring mechanism that allows a system to be divided into well designed units which may then be implemented separately [4].…”

The quality factor of class diagram is critical because it has significant influence on overall quality of the product, delivered finally. Testability has been recognized as a key factor to software quality. Estimating testability at design stage is a criterion of crucial significance for software designers to make the design more testable. Taking view of this fact, this paper identifies testability factors namely effectiveness and reusability and establishes the correlation among testability, effectiveness and reusability and justifies the correlation with the help of statistical measures. Moreover study developed metric based testability estimation model and developed model has been validated using experimental test. Subsequently, research integrates the empirical validation of the developed model for high level acceptance. Finally a hypothesis test performs by the two standards to test the significance of correlation.
