RESUMO

Testing techniques can be divided, in high level, in code-based ones (white box) and specification based ones (black box). None of them are complete as they intend to identify different kinds of faults. The use of them together can increase the application confidence level. Thus, it is important to investigate the relationship between structural testing techniques and functional testing techniques, how they complete themselves and how they can be used together. This paper was developed in the context of the Plavis (PLAtform of software Validation &Integration on Space systems) project. This project provides comparative studies between functional generation testing techniques (based on formal specifications) and structural generation testing techniques, such as control-flow and data-flow criteria, applied in the implementation. In a specific context, this study provides data about the relationship between these techniques and how they can be used together. In the context of the Plavis project, the goal is to provide a testing strategy, based on functional and structural criteria, and a set of tools, composing a testing environment to be used in Space Applications projects, at INPE
