Extension Interface Mutation Testing for Component Based on XML API
Yansheng Lu · 2008
On the basis of the traditional component interface mutation,it provides an XML API-based extension interface mutation testing approach. Firstly,the framework of component extension interface testing is given,and the Definition Model towards Extension Interface (DMEI) is defined. According to XML API,XML-based data validator which extends component interface is built to process dataset inside the component. Then XML Schema mutation operator outside of component validates the component data set and tests interface functions parameters automatically. The test approach has a lot of advantages,such as the muti-functional and visual testing interface,cross-platform and general-purpose test–script language. Our preliminary experiments show that it can be applied in many component testing environments,such as CORBA,EJB and COM.
