Abstract
The authors compared two major approaches to the improvement of software-software fault elimination and software fault tolerance-by examination of the fault detection (and tolerance, where applicable) of five techniques: run-time assertions, multiversion voting, functional testing augmented by structural testing, code reading by stepwise abstraction, and static data-flow analysis. The focus was on characterizing the sets of faults detected by the techniques and on characterizing the relationships between these sets of faults. Two categories of questions were investigated: (1) comparison between fault elimination and fault tolerance techniques and (2) comparisons among various testing techniques. The results provide information useful for making decisions about the allocation of project resources, show strengths and weaknesses of the techniques studies, and indicate directions for future research.>
