Abstract

This paper presents a scenario-based object-orientedtest framework (SOOTF) for adaptive and rapid testing.The framework takes test scenario specification as input,prepares data for test execution, performs test execution,and evaluates test results with a database support. Theframework also has several built-in regression testingstrategies that can be used to test the modified software.The framework is implemented in Java using many OOdesign patterns such as Template Method, Strategy, andComposite. The framework is implemented using a 3-tiered architecture with GUI front end, and test management in the middle, and a database at thebackend. Whenever there is a change to thesystem/application under test, SOOTF will identify all thepotentially affected scenarios, and perform regressiontesting using existing test cases stored in the database. Atester may also reuse the existing test scripts to performstress testing. This paper uses a banking system exampleto illustrate the framework.
