ABSTRACT: The quality factor of class diagram is
critical because it has significant influence on overall quality of the
product, delivered finally. Testability has been recognized as a key factor to
software quality. Estimating testability at design stage is a criterion of
crucial significance for software designers to make the design more testable.
Taking view of this fact, this paper identifies testability factors namely
effectiveness and reusability and establishes the correlation among
testability, effectiveness and reusability and justifies the correlation with
the help of statistical measures. Moreover study developed metric based
testability estimation model and developed model has been validated using
experimental test. Subsequently, research integrates the empirical validation
of the developed model for high level acceptance. Finally a hypothesis test
performs by the two standards to test the significance of correlation.
