A structured testing approach for DSP software

This paper presents an application of the structured testing methodology to the DSP software projects at Motorola, Corporate Research and Technology Center Singapore. The structured testing, also called "basis path testing", is based on the cyclomatric complexity measure of McCabe, and classified as white box testing. This method was experimented on a DSP project and resulted in a 7.8/spl times/ improvement of in-process faults and 1.3/spl times/ improvement of the productivity.
