METRIC
Dolores Wallace, Editor; A. H. Watson and T.J. McCabe
August 1996
This document describes the structured testing methodology for software
testing, also know as basis path testing. Based on the cyclomatic
complexity measure of McCabe, structured testing uses the control
flow structure of software to establish path coverage criteria.

USING S-CHECK ALPHA RELEASE 1.0
By Robert Snelick, Natalie Drouin, and John Antonishek
February 1996
This report describes S-Check, a tool that gives the programmer useful
performance information and is portable across machines as well as
architectures. S-Check automates the techniques of Synthetic Perturbation
Screening (SPS) which determines performance sensitivities of selected
program code segments.

SGML PARSER VALIDATION PROCEDURES
By R.B. Wilson
January 1995
This document establishes operating policy and procedures for NIST's
testing program for FIPS 152, Standard Generalized Markup Language
(SGML), parsers. The testing methodology is based on ANSI X3.190-1992,
Text and Office Systems - Conformance Testing for Standard Generalized
Markup Language Systems.

VALIDATED PRODUCTS
The Validated Products List (VPL) identifies information technology products that have been tested for conformance to Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) in accordance with Information Technology Laboratory (ITL) conformance testing procedures, and have a current validation certificate or registered test report.
The VPL also contains information about the organizations, test methods and procedures that support the validation programs for the FIPS identified in this document. The VPL includes computer language processors for programming languages COBOL, Fortran, Ada, C, and database language SQL; computer graphic implementations for CGM, operating system implementations for POSIX; and computer security implementations for DES, CM, DSS, SHS, MAC and Key Management. The testing of products to assure conformance to FIPS is often required by government agencies in procurements.
These publications are available through either the Government Printing Office (GPO) or the National Technical Information Service (NTIS). The source, price, and order number for each publication are indicated on the Publication Price List. Orders for publications should include title of publication, NIST publication number (Spec. Pub. 000, NISTIR 000, etc.) and GPO or NTIS number. You may order at the price listed; however, prices are subject to change without notice.
