Software Testing and Lines of Codes-A Study on Software Engineering Design Patterns

There has been n number of software development designs and test patterns in software engineering. Frameworks are available on methods to calculate the time, effort and human power required to develop a software. Our work is a novel study on the basics of how proportional is the time required to test a software based on the LOCs (Lines of Codes) and the design used. The work aims to interlink the understanding between two kinds of structural testing. This basic study experiment was conducted using 20 different programs. We argue and prove that there is an interconnection between the design, Lines of Code (LOC) and testing.
