Abstract

Code mobility has become an attractive alternative to the implementation of distributed systems. In the last few years much effort has been made in the study and development of techniques to support the development of software based on mobile code. In spite of this effort, there is still a lack of criteria and environments to test mobile software. In this paper we investigate the use of control and data flow based criteria for testing software with mobility features. A testing tool named JaBUTi/MA supports coverage analysis based on client triggered and server triggered instrumentation. A case study is presented to assess the use of JaBUTi/MA on mobile agents.
