Keyword(s) abstraction layer model orthogonal arrays partition testing SADFE software performance Summary The increasing complexity and number of digital forensic tasks required in criminal investigations demand the development of an effective and efficient testing methodology, enabling tools of similar functionalities to be compared based on their performance. Assuming that the tool tester is familiar with the underlying testing platform and has the ability to use the tools correctly, we provide a numerical solution for the lower bound on the number of testing cases needed to determine comparative capabilities of any set of digital forensic tools. We also present a case study on the performance testing of password cracking tools, which allows us to confirm that the lower bound on the number of testing runs needed is closely related to the row size of certain orthogonal arrays. We show how to reduce the number of test runs by using knowledge of the underlying system ISBN 0769528082 9780769528083 Language eng Field of Research 080499 Data Format not elsewhere classified Socio Economic Objective 970108 HERDC Research category E1 Full written paper - refereed Copyright notice ©2007, IEEE Computer Society Persistent URL http://hdl.handle.net/10536/DRO/DU:30008107 Document type: Conference Paper Collections: School of Engineering and Information Technology Open Access Collection Related Links Link Description Connect to published version (restricted access) Go to link with your DU access privileges     Unless expressly stated otherwise, the copyright for items in DRO is owned by the author, with all rights reserved.
