Abstract

Testing software systems requires practitioners to decide how to select test data. This chapter discusses what it means for one test data selection criterion to be more effective than another. Several proposed comparison relations are discussed, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of each. Also included is a discussion of how these relations evolved and argue that large scale empirical studies are needed.
