面向对象软件测试技术进展

PROGRESS IN TESTING OBJECT ORIENTED SOFTWARE

面向对象软件测试技术的研究是面向对象开发方法的不可缺少的一环，但目前的研究现状与面向对象的分析、设计技术以及程序设计语言的研究相比尚显薄弱．文中分析了面向对象程序设计语言的特点及其对软件测试的影响，从基于规约的测试方法和基于程序的测试方法以及测试方法与软件开发过程的集成途径等方面，综述有代表性的研究工作，探讨研究方向．

Testing activity is indispensable to the development of object oriented software.Much research has been done on object oriented analysis,design and programming languages.Yet relatively little work has been done to address the question of how object oriented programs should be tested.The impact of object orientation on testing is studied in this paper.Various testing methods proposed in the literature,such as specification based testing,program based testing,and the integration of testing with development process are surveyed.Directions of future research are also discussed.
