How to Evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of static testing

Software Testing has grown from a process to a complete industry in itself. The book tries to summerize the testing process with specific emphasis on static testing. Testing can be done by static and dynamic ways. One of the static testing method is code reading. This book elaborate the code reading method and examplify the same with a experimental data. Mr. Ahmed in this book had elaborated a case study on evaluating the efficiency and effectiveness of code reading technique with emphasis on enhancing software quality. The work carried out used a GQM (Goal-Questioned-Metric) method and populated different metrics. Based on the data analysis of these different metrics we try to finally conclude whether code reading is effective and efficient or not.
