Description
Software testing is a challenge: the goal of testing is to expose yet undiscovered errors. a successful test is one that "catches" an error; testing cannot prove the correctness of a software, it can only demonstrate the presence of a bug; exhaustive testing is practically unfeasible (the number of executable paths may be astronomic); testing and debugging of a software system requires more than 50% of total time and effort (Brooks' rule).
