Abstract In this paper the testing strategy of the system TESTER-OOL is considered. The basis of the strategy consists of the structural approach to testing and characteristics of object-oriented programming. The major unit for testing of object-oriented programs is class. The strategy provides the sequential implementation of the following steps: class testing, inter-class testing and system testing. Adequacy of the test strategy for separate methods testing in class is proved with usage of formal definitions of structural criteria of testing. The hierarchical incremental testing method for testing member-functions in class is described. Testing of program units assumes the adequate testing of member-functions of each class, which is provided with application of well approved methods of structural testing, in particularly, path testing. Moreover, alternative metrics based on the object-oriented context covers are included for the testing of program units. |
