STATISTICAL TESTS FOR THE COMPARISON OF THE INCIDENCE OR MORTALITY RATES IN CANCER REGISTRY AND DESCRIPTIVE EPIDEMIOLOGY──A MICROCOMPUTER PROGRAM IN BASIC

This paper describes the statistical methods of the comparison of the incidence or mortality rates in cancer registry and descriptive epidemiology, and the features of microcomputer program (CANTEST) which was designed to perform the methods. The program was written in IBM BASIC language. Using the program CANTEST we presented here the user can do several statistical tests or estimations as follow: 1. the comparison of the adjusted rates which were calculated by directly or indirectly standardized methods, 2. the calculation of the slope of regression line for testing the linear trends of the adjusted rates, 3. the estimation of the 95% or 99%conndence intervals of the directly adjusted rates, of the cumulative rates (0-64 and 0-74), and of the cumulative risk. Several examples are presented for testing the performances of the program.

基于ATML标准的测试程序模型研究与应用

自动测试系统软件的开发方式,从构建传统的单一应用程序,逐渐转变为基于自动测试软件平台的开发。基于自动测试软件平台的开发方式,实现了测试程序和测试执行环境的分离,提高了测试程序的通用性、可维护性和开发效率。统一格式的、跨平台的测试程序能够容易地被移植、集成和共享。ATML标准中的Test Description模型,为测试程序的描述提供了一种标准的格式,其可以被用于测试程序文件的存储,可实现测试程序的标准化和可移植性。文章重点论述了基于ATML的测试程序模型,以及其在思仪科技自主研制的自动测试系统软件平台Test Center中是如何被应用的。
