“…It may be unrealistic to expect component vendors to provide those information due to obvious reasons. To facilitate regression testing, it becomes necessary for component vendors to provide built-in-test interfaces [2][3][4] or to publish abstracted change information such as affected method signature, pre/postconditions, among others after each modification.…”

We present a novel regression test selection approach based on analysis of state and dependence models of components. Our technique targets to select a smaller regression test suite compared to the pure dependence-based RTS approaches while maintaining the fault revealing effectiveness. In our approach, after a modification, control and data dependencies are analyzed to identify the potentially affected statements. Subsequently, the state model of the component is analyzed to compute a precise publishable change information to support efficient regression test selection by the application developers.

“…By this approach, new components and software systems (which are again composed from existing components) can be rapidly developed [1,3,4] while reducing development efforts and costs. However, there are many challenges, for examples, what the new component interfaces are, how to ensure that the new component does not posse any unusual behaviors [7,8].…”

“…To our knowledge, there are many approaches that support the validation of atomic component. However, the current research which focuses on validating of composite components is very limited [7,8]. Existing approaches for designing test cases of atomic components may not be applicable to composite components due to, for example, the dependencies between sub-components.…”

In this paper, we present a testing model to support the verification and validation for composite components. The testing model supports two types of components: atomic and composite. Atomic components are non-decomposable software units, while composite components are developed by composing existing components. Our main contribution presented in this paper focusing on two issues: (1) to provide a testing model for atomic components while these components are being designed and developed; and (2) to provide a mechanism to construct new testing models for composite components by composing existing testing models of atomic components. In addition, we address how our integrating testing model can support both centralized and distributed testing of composite components.

“…Some of them, such as [5], [13], [19], address the problem of the lack of information between component producers and consumers providing means to improve the quality level of information collected and provided by producers, while others, such as [2], [8], [11], [22] and [28], try to promote architectural solutions to construct components with high testability.…”

The lack of information limits component consumers to understand candidate components sufficiently in a way they can check if a given component fulfills its goal. Thus, this paper presents an approach to support component testing aiming to reduce the lack of information between component producers and component consumers. Additionally, the approach is covered by a CASE tool integrated in the development environment. An experimental study was performed in order to evaluate its efficiency and difficulties of its use. The experimental study indicates that the approach is viable and the tool support provides effort reduction to component producers and component consumers.
