Testing is one of the most important methods for the quality assurance of software and hardware systems. Especially in the industrial practice it takes a prominent position. However, the consequent implementation of quality assurance measures is often a controversial subject of debate. The discovery of flaws at an early stage, their cost-efficient rectification and generally a better quality are pitted against the costs of testing, which on average comprise 30 to 50 percent of the entire development budget.
