Object-oriented programming increases software reusability,
extensibility, interoperability, and reliability. Software testing
is necessary to realize these benefits by uncovering as many
programming errors as possible at a minimum cost. A major challenge
to the software engineering community remains how to reduce the
cost while improving the quality of software testing. The
requirements for testing object-oriented programs differ from those
for testing conventional programs.
Testing Object-Oriented Software illustrates these differences and
discusses object-oriented software testing problems, focusing on
the difficulties and challenges testers face. The text contains of
nineteen reprinted papers providing a general framework for class-
and system-level testing and examines object-oriented design
criteria and high testability metrics. It offers object-oriented
testing techniques, ideas and methods for unit testing, and
object-oriented program integration-testing strategy.
Readers are shown how to drastically reduce regression test costs,
presented with steps for object-oriented testing, and introduced to
object-oriented test tools and systems. The book's intended
audience includes object-oriented program testers, program
developers, software project managers, and researchers working with
object-oriented testing.
