Behavior Capture and Test for Controlling the Quality of Component-Based Integrated Systems
Leonardo Mariani, Mauro Pezzè · 2003
This paper proposes a new technique, called Behavior Capture and Test (BCT), that takes advantage of this information. We first monitor the system execution and capture the essential characteristics of the behavior by means of automatic probes. We then use the collected information to verify the compatibility of the components when used as part of other systems. In this way, we can automatically reveal incongruences of components that either replace existing ones or are added to existing systems to extend their functionality
