QUALITY DEFECTS DETECTION IN UNIT TESTS
Keywords:
Software engineering, unit tests, metrics, test smells, defects in unit tests, assertion roulette, interacting tests.Abstract
Аn approach is presented for quality defects detection in unit tests with the help of metrics for software maintenance; method of developing metrics with the help of the unit tests quality characteristics was discussed. Results are demonstrated on the basis of controlled experiment.References
