Abstract

Testing is the most commonly used approach to theassurance of software quality and reliability. The testingof object-oriented software is much more complex thanthat of conventional programs. Although we proposedpreviously a method called TACCLE for testing object-oriented software at the class and cluster levels, it did notcover concurrent or non-deterministic situations.This paper puts forward a strategy for selectingsynchronization sequences to test concurrent object-oriented software, including non-deterministic cases. It isbased on OBJSA net/CLOWN specifications. Experimentshave been carried out in a case study to verify the efficacyof the strategy.
