[news.eclipse.tools.hyades] Testability metrics

[Magiel Bruntink <magiel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Currently I am researching into the topic of testability in the context of 
my master's thesis. In short, a program's testability is the amount of 
effort needed to satisfy a specified test coverage requirement during 
testing. Much of the literature focuses on defining measures of the source 
code (for example: failure hiding ability, domain-to-range ratio, coupling, 
etc.) and using these to draw conclusions about a program's testability.

The collection and presentation of these measures is something I'de expect 
to be useful in the Hyades framework. For example, knowledge of a program's 
testability can play an important role in evaluating the progress of the 
testing effort.

Are there existing plans to implement any source-based measurement tooling 
in Hyades? Would it be possible to contribute to such a project?

Yours,
