Abstract

We report on our experiences of applying a number of software testing techniques and software quality metrics to a medium sized numerical package. This package includes its own testing routines and we report a number of areas where we believe both the testing process and the code may be improved. We also report a number of faults and discuss a testing regimen which we have developed that appears to be more effective, efficient and extensible than the one currently provided with the package.
