The Experimental Evaluation of Interclass Testing for Object Oriented Programming
Marian Pompiliu Cristescu · 2005
The paradigm of object oriented is successfully applied in many software projects and the use of the languages object oriented widely spread nowadays. The object oriented technologies diminish or eliminate some typical problems of the procedural software, but on the other hand they can introduce new problems wich have as a result classes of defects difficult to be adressed by means of traditional technologies of testing. In particular, the defects depended of the state, are to be meet more frequently in the object oriented programming systems rather than the procedural ones; almost all object have an associated state, and the behavior of the object. Such defects can hardly be decovered because they create anomalies only when the objects are used in particular states.
