Abstract
A Boolean function is said to be -far from monotone if needs to be modified in at least -fraction of the points to make it monotone. We design a randomized tester that is given oracle access to and an input parameter , and has the following guarantee: It outputs {\sf Yes} if the function is monotonically non-decreasing, and outputs {\sf No} with probability , if the function is -far from monotone. This non-adaptive, one-sided tester makes queries to the oracle.
