Why We Misjudge Our Own Effectiveness at Finding Software Bugs
SMRTR summary
Researchers conducted an empirical study with 32 computer science students to determine whether developers' perceptions of testing effectiveness match reality.

The study measures the cost of misperceptions and analyzes agreement between subjective perceptions and actual testing performance using statistical methods.
