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.
