Object-oriented Integration Testing Based on Complex Networks
Zhongsheng Qian · 2008
Software testing is one of the key techniques to guarantee software quality.Apart from benefiting the software,object-oriented (OO) technology also brings challenges to software testing.Many OO characters can not be applied to conventional testing methods.Research results show that large software systems have small-world (SW) and scale-free (SF) characters.Based on these characters,investigated the OO integration testing.An approach was proposed to acquire the testing order via analyzing the interaction complex and clustering complex among classes.The approach can reduce the number of stubs in object-oriented integrated testing to eventually improve the testing efficiency,and keep the original test coverage.
