A Test Suite Generation Method for Component Interaction Testing

Abstract

Abstract. Composition technology is the key factor of component based software development. Assembling component models to derive interaction test cases is a common way of component interaction testing; however, one of the consequences is the difficulty to test different component models sufficiently and the other is state explosion problem. We propose a method to generate interaction testing suite based on the composition of unit test case. The proposed method is a generally-used way for interaction testing and could meet the demand of appointed test criteria.
