A structured approach to testing software based on the principles of the McCabe cyclomatic complexity metric is described. This approach is being applied to current Naval embedded weapon system software projects for unit, integration, and computer software configuration item (CSCI) requirements-level testing. The primary automated tool supporting this process is the Vitro Automated Structured Testing Tool (VASTT), which analyzes and generates reports from a variety of inputs, including data flow diagrams (DFDs), program design language (PDL), and several programming languages. The reports include complexity metrics, flow graphs, test paths, and test cases. This approach to testing provides an early assessment of testability and a comprehensive and quantifiable framework for the testing program.
