Considerations for Anti-Spyware Product Testing

This paper outlines some of the considerations that should be taken into account when tests on anti-spyware products are conducted and reviewed. Tests conforming to the suggestions in this paper are more likely to produce results that are scientifically valid, independently reproducible, and meaningful. It is the hope of the Anti?]Spyware Coalition that this paper will help testers design and perform reliable tests, and help reviewers and users interpret published test results.
