Visual testing software environment using object-oriented programming

Abstract

Object-oriented programming is an alternative to deal with the problems associated in the development, maintenance and update of large software for measurement applications. But many applications in the computer-automated testing system depend critically on the simplicity, flexibility and efficiency of the implementation. This paper is about the object-oriented approach to solve the problem of the testing software development. A decomposition of the visual testing software environment into classes, suitable to include all elements required in this development, is presented. The internal structure of the object-oriented program, developed in C++, is discussed. A radar test system and a high-speed and multichannel data acquisition system are implemented in that environment successfully.
