Deep Object Comparison for Interface-based Regression Testing of Software Components
Tomáš Potužák, Richard Lipka · Annals of Computer Science and Information Systems · 2018
In this paper, we describe the deep object comparison (DOC) algorithm, which is used for comparison of general objects in Java programming language based on their internal structures and values of primitive attributes.The DOC algorithm was designed to be utilized in our interface-based regression testing of software components, which enables to uncover subtle changes of the behavior of a component-based application under test with a newly installed version of a software component in comparison to its behavior with an old version of this component.
