Need and building stable software application is becoming more and more important considering that software applications are becoming pervasive in human daily lives. The software is adequately tested to give greater confidence in its ability to perform as expected. Software testing becomes a hectic task as the size and complexity/line of code of software application on a tester’s ability to manipulate increases, therefore, the next step is to make the testing task easier and more effective. In other words, improving on the testability of the software. Software testability is the extent to which a software system or a unit under test supports its own testing. To support and improve software testability, many techniques and metrics have been proposed by both practitioners and researchers in the last several years. Software testability is the tendency of software code to reveal existing defects/faults during testing. Improvement of testability can be achieved through applying tactics in practice that improve on a tester’s ability to manipulate, observe and interpret the results from the execution of tests.
