Software testability is a software characteristic that refers to the ease with which some formal or informal testing criteria can be satisfied. There are varying metrics that can be applied to this measurement. Software validation generally refers to the process of showing that software is computing an expected function. Software testing is able to judge the quality of the code produced. Software testability, on the other hand, is not able to do so, because it has no information concerning whether the code is producing correct or incorrect results. It is only able to predict the likelihood of incorrect results occurring if a fault or faults exist in the code. Software testability is a validation technique, but in a different definition of the term /spl Gt/OPEN validation\" that the IEEE Standard Glossary of Software Engineering Terminology allows for. Software testability is assessing behavioral characteristics that are not related to whether the code is producing correct output.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":137767,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of COMPASS'94 - 1994 IEEE 9th Annual Conference on Computer Assurance","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128244289","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Byzantine fault-tolerant architectures are attractive because they tolerate any kind fault, but they are rather expensive: at least 3m+1 processors are required to withstand m arbitrary faults. Two recent developments mitigate some of the costs: algorithms that operate under a hybrid fault model tolerate more faults for a given number of processors than classical Byzantine fault-tolerant algorithms, and asymmetric architectures tolerate a given number of faults with less hardware than conventional architectures. In this paper, we combine these two developments and present an algorithm for achieving interactive consistency (the problem of distributing sensor samples consistently in the presence of faults) under a hybrid fault model on an asymmetric architecture. The extended fault model and asymmetric architecture complicate the arguments for the correctness and the number of faults tolerated by the algorithm. To increase assurance, we have formally verified these properties and checked the proofs mechanically using the PVS verification system. We argue that mechanically supported formal methods allow for effective reuse of intellectual resources, such as specifications and proofs, and that exercises such as this can now be performed very economically.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":137767,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of COMPASS'94 - 1994 IEEE 9th Annual Conference on Computer Assurance","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127387264","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
