Abstract

Object-oriented Software Systems present a particular challenge to the software testing community. This review of the problem points out the particular aspects of object-oriented systems which makes it costly to test them. The flexibility and reusability of such systems is described from the negative side which implies that there are many ways to use them and all of these ways need to be tested. The solution to this challenge lies in automation. The review emphasizes the role of test automation in achieving adequate test coverage both at the unit and the component level. The system testing level is independent of the underlying programming technology.
