Impact of Inadequate Software Testing on US Economy
<http://www.nist.gov/director/prog-ofc/report02-3.pdf>
NIST engaged the Research Triangle Institute (RTI) to assess the
cost to the U.S. economy of inadequate software testing
infrastructure. Inadequate testing is defined as failure to
identify and remove software bugs in real time. Over half of
software bugs are currently not found until downstream in the
development process leading to significant economic costs. RTI
identified a set of quality attributes and used them to construct
metrics for estimating the cost of an inadequate testing
infrastructure. Two in depth case studies were conducted. In the
manufacturing sector, transportation equipment industries were
analyzed. Data were collected from software developers (CAD/CAM/CAE
and product data management vendors) and from users (primarily
automotive and aerospace companies).
In the service sector, financial services were analyzed with data
collected again from software developers (routers and switches,
financial electronic data interchange, and clearinghouse) and from
users (banks and credit unions). The annual cost to these two major
industry groups from inadequate software infrastructure is estimated
to be $5.85 billion. Similarities across industries with respect to
software development and use and, in particular, software testing
labor costs allowed a projection of the cost to the entire U.S.
economy. Using the per-employee impacts for the two case studies,
an extrapolation to other manufacturing and service industries
yields an approximate estimate of $59.5 billion as the annual cost
to the nation of inadequate software testing infrastructure.

Remember When?
This was passed on by a friendly "younger person"..
Remember when . . . .
> All the girls had ugly gym uniforms?
> It took five minutes for the TV warm up?
> Nearly everyone's Mom was at home when the kids got home from
school?
> Nobody owned a purebred dog?
> When a quarter was a decent allowance?
> You'd reach into a muddy gutter for a penny?
> Your Mom wore nylons that came in two pieces?
> All your male teachers wore neckties and female teachers had
their hair done every day and wore high heels?
> You got your windshield cleaned, oil checked, and gas pumped,
without asking, all for free, every time? And you didn't pay for
air? And, you got trading stamps to boot?
> Laundry detergent had free glasses, dishes or towels hidden
inside the box?
> It was considered a great privilege to be taken out to dinner at
a real restaurant with your parents?
> They threatened to keep kids back a grade if they failed . . .
and they did?
> When a 57 Chevy was everyone's dream car...to cruise, peel out,
lay rubber or watch submarine races, and people went steady?
> No one ever asked where the car keys were because they were
always in the car, in the ignition, and the doors were never
locked?
> Lying on your back in the grass with your friends and saying
things like "That cloud looks like a ?", and playing baseball
with no adults to help kids with the rules of the game?
> Stuff from the store came without safety caps and hermetic seals
because no one had yet tried to poison a perfect stranger?
> And with all our progress...........don't you just wish, just
once, you could slip back in time and savor the slower
pace...........and share it with the children of today?
> When being sent to the principal's office was nothing compared
to the fate that awaited the student at home? Basically we were
in fear for our lives, but it wasn't because of drive-by
shootings, drugs, gangs, etc. Our parents and grandparents were
a much bigger threat! But we survived because their love was
greater than the threat. Send this on to someone who can still
remember Nancy Drew, the Hardy Boys, Laurel and Hardy, Howdy
Dowdy and the Peanut Gallery, the Lone Ranger, The Shadow Knows,
Nellie Bell, Roy and Dale, Trigger and Buttermilk. As well as
summers filled with bike rides, baseball games, bowling and
visits to the pool! And eating Kool-Aid powder with sugar.

New SQRL Reports Issued
SQRL Report No. 4: "Table Input Method: A Tool for the Construction
of Tabular Expressions in the Table Tool System," By: Jaroslaw G.
Kowalik
Abstract: Compared to other means, mathematical expressions most
precisely represent the complex relations that are used to specify
and document software systems, however, they can be complex. To
simplify the presentation of mathematical expressions, Dr. Parnas et
al. has proposed the use of tabular expressions.
To create correct tabular expressions quickly, an effective editor
is required. This paper proposes thirteen criteria to evaluate the
effectiveness of tabular expression editors. Six common editors are
evaluated benchmarked against these thirteen criteria. None of the
existing surveyed editors however meet all the criteria. To prove
these thirteen criteria can be fulfilled a new editor, Table Input
Method (TIM), was created by the author. This paper illustrates how
TIM successfully meets all the established criteria.
SQRL Report No. 5: "Computing the Singular Values of 2-by-2 Complex
Matrices," By: Sanzheng Qiao and Xiaohong Wang
Abstract: This paper describes an algorithm for the singular value
decomposition of a 2-by-2 complex matrix. It computes accurate
singular values.

eValid Announces Ver. 3.2 with 3D-SiteMaps, Expanded Filters,
Data Synthesis, Validate Screen Features
"The latest release of eValid's -- Ver. 3.2 -- adds many new
features to an already powerful WebSite test suite. We've put in
features that our users have suggested, and features that fill out
the general capabilities of the test engine. It's even more true
that eValid is the most complete WebSite test tool suite available
on the market!" said Edward Miller, Chairman of Software Research,
Inc.
The latest release of the eValid Test Suite includes major new
features:
o 3D Site Map. A novel new display that shows page dependencies
in a 3D SiteMap is aimed at helping WebSite developers and
maintainers understand how all the parts of WebSites connect.
3D SiteMap images can be rotated in three dimensions -- with
dynamic update -- and expanded and contracted. The 3D SiteMap
is created directly from an eValid Site Analysis run. Besides
showing basic dependence, the 3D SiteMaps can be annotated to
reflect download speed, page size, page name.
o Extended Mapping Filters. The eValid InBrowser site spider now
has additional filter reporting, including checking for pre-set
metric properties such as HTML element count visible text size.
Spidered pages can be examined for simple string matches or for
powerful regular expression matches.
o Synthesized Input Data. There is a new simplified method for
assigning values to parameterized playback scripts from a table.
Called Synthesized Input Data, this new playback mode makes it
easy to run large number of variations of a single script.
o Save & Validate Screens. There is a new capability to permit
saving of screens (either the face of a window or the full
window) during playback. This feature expands the already
powerful validation capabilities of the eValid product. An image
difference utility that permits masking of images is also
included. This feature also adds a capability in monitoring
mode to save screenshots when a failure is detected.
eValid licenses start at $950 for a basic record/playback
capability. Separate licenses in various combinations are
available. A complete license with all eValid functionality
(SiteMap, Functional Testing, Data Generation, Loading,
Timing/Tuning and is available at special bundle prices.
