Abstract :
The failure of a test to detect a problem in the unit under test usually results from unanticipated fault modes and inappropriate test design techniques. Resulting corrective and preventative measures may load test suites with unnecessary tests. This paper recommends using Quality Function Deployment (QFD) to verify the test is for the right reason and that correct information is being collected. A guide to how much testing is desirable is provided
