TDDHQ: Achieving Higher Quality Testing in Test Driven Development
Publication Type:
Conference/Workshop Paper
Venue:
39th Euromicro Conference on Software Engineering and Advanced Applications
Abstract
Test driven development (TDD) appears not to
be immune to positive test bias effects, as we observed in
several empirical studies. In these studies, developers created a
significantly larger set of positive tests, but at the same time
the number of defects detected with negative tests is significantly
higher than those detected by positive ones. In this paper we
propose the concept of TDDHQ which is aimed at achieving higher
quality of testing in TDD by augmenting the standard TDD with
suitable test design techniques. To exemplify this concept, we
present combining equivalence partitioning test design technique
together with the TDD, for the purpose of improving design of
test cases. Initial evaluation of this approach showed a noticeable
improvement in the quality of test cases created by developers
utilising TDDHQ approach.
