State of the Art and Thinking of the Research on Software Architecture Testing
Bixin Li · Journal of Chinese Computer Systems · 2008
Currently,many people are doing the research of software architecture analysis,evaluation,testing and verification techniques,and some representative testing strategies are proposed to test software architecture.But,traditional software testing methods can not be used directly to solve the test issues of software architecture,either some techniques are needed to improve the traditional methods or new software architecture testing techniques are developed to solve the test issues related to software architecture.In this article,the research state of the art of software architecture testing is surveyed and discussed in the first,the factors affecting on software architecture testing are analyzed in the second,and the future research topics are debated in the final.
