Abstract Details

2015, Master of Science, University of Akron, Computer Science.
Software testing is an important part of the development process, and therefore a measure of testing effort is needed to monitor the process. In addition, software metrics have been developed to measure the quality of a software system. These metrics tell us important facts about the software system, but to truly gauge the quality of a software system we specifically need to study a large number of projects, and compare some of them over multiple releases. This thesis studies the testing effort on a large number of projects, taken from large, public repositories from the source code management site GitHub. For each project the testing effort, based on various criteria, is analyzed to try to understand the amount of testing effort performed. The testing effort is compared to complexity metric and code coverage. In addition, select systems were analyzed across their history to see if there were any changes in the testing effort over the entire time of development. The results show that for many projects, the testing effort is not where it needs to be.
