RESUMO

Software Testing is a quality assurance activity that aims at reducing the number of software faults. This activity contributes for the reduction of maintenance costs and for software quality improvement during the development process. These factors have motivated the investigation and proposal of several testing strategies, techniques, criteria and tools for different programming paradigms, such as procedural, object-oriented and aspect-oriented. Regarding testing criteria, many experimental studies have been performed to evaluate and compare them. In general, these experiments comprise programs developed under the same paradigm or this influence over the results. However, some faults can be paradigm-related and it is important to evaluate its impact on the testing activity. This work presents an experimental study developed to characterize and evaluate the application cost and strength of testing criteria, comparing two programming paradigms: object-oriented and procedural. This study considers functional and strutural testing criteria and uses a set of programs from the data structure domain. Terms and phases from controlled experimentation process were used, as long as they showed to be adequated, to define and execute the present study. The research aims at obtaining initial results about the questions investigated as well as generating artifacts which support the definition and conduction of future experiments and the creation of laboratory packages. In addition, it intends to support, through the materials generated, the training and teaching of software testing activity
