Abstract

The use of components in development of complex softwaresystems can surely have various benefits. Their testing,however, is still one of the open issues in software engineering.Both the developer of a component and the developerof a system using components often face the problemthat information vital for certain development tasks isnot available. Such a lack of information has various consequencesto both. One of the important consequences isthat it might not only obligate the developer of a systemto test the components used, it might also complicate thesetests. This article gives an overview of component testingapproaches that explicitly respect a lack of information indevelopment.
