Testing comprises activities that aim at showing that the intended and actual behaviors of a system differ, or at gaining confidence that they do not. The goal of testing is failure detection: observable differences between the behaviors of implementation and specification. Classical estimates relate one half of the overall development effort to testing. Even if Fagan [1] suspects that this percentage includes activities such as finding the causes of failures in the code and removing them, testing is an important and expensive activity in the development process.
