Applying software testing practices to an object-oriented software development

Abstract

This paper describes the experiences in testing an object-oriented software system. The testing activities were integrated into a software quality assurance program so that assurance practices such as inspections were equally important as unit level and system level testings. The test approach employed object-based testing with a focus on testing objects and their features. Results indicated areas such as test coverage and stopping criteria require further research in refining object-based testing.
