A software test data adequacy criterion is a means for determining whether a test set is sufficient, or "adequate," for testing a given program. Previous work has proposed a set of properties that useful adequacy criteria should satisfy. In this paper, we identify some additional properties of useful adequacy criteria that are appropriate under certain realistic models of testing. We then discuss modifications to the formal definitions of certain popular adequacy criteria to make the criteria consistent with these additional properties. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
