Abstract

Systematically extracting the test patterns of hot spots in an object-oriented software framework is a prerequisite for thoroughly testing the framework's functionality in a variety of contexts in which the framework is extended for reuse. This paper proposes a method for analyzing the design patterns and extracting the test patterns from the interaction test patterns of hot spots in an object-oriented framework. Based on the design pattern of the framework's hot spot, our method captures the object behavior allowed in that hot spot by means of statecharts, which are then used to generate the interaction test patterns and test cases. The generated test patterns and test cases can be applied repeatedly to applications which are built from extending the framework.

프레임웍의 기능성을 철저하게 테스팅하기 위해서는 객체 지향 프레임웍의 재사용 시에 확장되는 가변 부위(hot spots)에 대한 체계적인 테스트 패턴 추출이 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 프레임웍 가변부위의 설계 패턴을 분석하여 가변부위의 상호작용(interaction) 패턴으로부터 테스트 패턴을 추출하는 방법을 제안한다. 프레임웍 가변 부위의 설계 패턴에서 나타날 수 있는 객체들의 상호 작용은 상태도(statechart)로 표현되며, 표현된 상태도는 테스트 패턴 및 테스트 케이스를 생성하는데 사용된다. 생성된 테스트 패턴은 프레임웍을 확장하여 만들어진 어플리케이션들에 반복 적용되어 사용될 수 있다.
