A specific elaboration of Test Phase-Space: A Rudimentary Mathematical Model of Testing Phenomenon in General

UNDER CONSTRUCTION Note1: the equations presented herein are rudimentary; further inputs / corrections / suggestions are welcome. Note2: although this article was written from the perspective of software testing, we believe this can be expanded to encompass all testing phenomena in general.   Summary:  this article tries to describe testing using a Confidence Scale, with the various stages interrelated through mathematical equations. As a prerequisite , we base on the following assumptions:   Assumption#1.   confidence/level/quality scale: from 1(low) to   10(perfect), effectively divided into three ranges: Low -c onfidence(1-3), Medium - confidence(4-6), High - confidence(7-9), 5 = median - confidence/level/quality 10 = " perfect -confidence"  which will be generally accepted as highly  unlikely  to be attainable . (To those familiar with the Kepner-Tregoe method of problem / decision analysis, this scale may sound familiar.)   Assumption#2....
