Aspect-Oriented Software Testing Techniques: A Review

Abstract

Software testing is a prominent area of research as it ensures the quality and reliability of the software. Testing an aspect-oriented software is also the latest area of research. Although, research in aspect-oriented software testing has reported a couple of new testing techniques. But, there is no work yet indicated in the literature as studied, to focus on the relationship of aspect-oriented software testing techniques with traditional software testing techniques. Therefore, this position paper handles this shortcoming and presents the basic concepts of aspect-oriented programming, phases of aspect-oriented software development life cycle and testing phases for new researchers to gather the information on the subject. This paper also presents comprehensive details about the relationship of aspect-oriented software testing techniques with other traditional testing techniques.
