mutation testing

See back-to-back testing.

mutation analysis

A method to determine test suite thoroughness by measuring the extent to which a test suite can discriminate the program from slight variants (mutants) of the program.

multiple condition testing

A white box test design technique in which test cases are designed to execute combinations of single condition outcomes (within one statement).

multiple condition coverage

The percentage of combinations of all single condition outcomes within one statement that have been exercised by a test suite. 100% multiple condition coverage implies 100% modified condition decision coverage.

multiple condition

See compound condition.

MTTR

See Mean Time To Repair.

MTBF

See Mean Time Between Failures.

monkey testing

Testing by means of a random selection from a large range of inputs and by randomly pushing buttons, ignorant of how the product is being used.

monitoring tool

See monitor.

monitor

A software tool or hardware device that runs concurrently with the component or system under test and supervises, records and/or analyses the behavior of the component or system. [After IEEE 610]

module testing

See component testing.

module

See component.

modified multiple condition testing

See modified condition decision testing.

modified multiple condition coverage

See modified condition decision coverage.

modified condition decision testing

A white box test design technique in which test cases are designed to execute single condition outcomes that independently affect a decision outcome.

modified condition decision coverage

The percentage of all single condition outcomes that independently affect a decision outcome that have been exercised by a test case suite. 100% modified condition decision coverage implies 100% decision condition coverage.

moderator

The leader and main person responsible for an inspection or other review process.

modeling tool

A tool that supports the creation, amendment and verification of models of the software or system [Graham].

model-based testing

Testing based on a model of the component or system under test, e.g., reliability growth models, usage models such as operational profiles or behavioural models such as decision table or state transition diagram.
