Testing Object Oriented Software

AUTHOR Hsia, Pei; Hsia P; Gao J et al.
PUBLISHER Wiley-IEEE Computer Society PR (11/10/1998)
PRODUCT TYPE Paperback (Paperback)
Description
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.

Readers are shown how they can drastically reduce regression test costs, presented with steps for object-oriented testing, and introduced to object-oriented test tools and systems. In addition to software testing problems, the text covers various test methods developers can use during the design phase to generate programs with good testability. The book's intended audience includes object-oriented program testers, program developers, software project managers, and researchers working with object-oriented testing.
