Immutabilitythe ability for a Blockchain (BC) Ledger to remain an unalterable, permanent and indelible history of transactions -is a feature that is highlighted as a key benefit of BC. This ability is very important when several companies work collaboratively to achieve common objectives. This collaboration is usually represented by using business process models. BC is considered as a suitable technology to reduce the complexity of designing these collaborative processes using Smart Contracts. This paper discusses how to combine Model-based Software Development, modelling techniques, such as use cases models and activity diagram models based on Unified Model Languages (UML) in order to simplify and improve the modelling, management and execution of collaborative business processes between multiple companies in the BC network. This paper includes the neccessity of using transformation protocols to obtain Smart Contract code. In addition, it presents systematic mechanisms to evaluate and validate Smart Contract, applying early testing techniques, before deploying the Smart Contract code in the BC network.Sánchez-Gómez, N., Morales-Trujillo, L. and Torres-Valderrama, J.

Zusammenfassung Der Artikel untersucht, wie Probleme, die speziell beim Unit-Testen objektorientierter Programme auftreten, mit Hilfe des Paradigmas aspektorientierte Programmierung gelöst werden können.Die Untersuchung stellt Schritt für Schritt die einzelnen Teilprobleme vor, führt konventionelle Lösungen auf, zeigt aspektorientierte Alternativen für die gestellten Probleme und erläutert anhand von Code-Beispielen ihre Implementierung in der Sprache AspectJ.Die Untersuchung begleitend wird das Testframework FlexTest vorgestellt, das die praktische Umsetzbarkeit der vorgestellten Ideen demonstriert.Schlüsselwörter Testen · aspektorientierte Programmierung Abstract The article examines whether problems that occur specifically during unit testing of object-oriented programs can be solved using the aspect-oriented programming paradigm.It presents the various subproblems step by step, shows conventional solutions, describes aspect-oriented solutions to the problems in a general and language-independent manner, and concludes by looking at the aspect-oriented implementation in the language AspectJ.Parallel to this, we present the test framework FlexTest, which demonstrates the practical implementability of our ideas.

“…One notable exception is Eayad's Object-Engineering Technique (OET) [4], in which test cases and test procedures are defined for object classes. A recent issue of Communications raised the issue of the importance and reported several interesting resttlts of OO testing [2]. Strictly speaking, OO testing and maintenance tools have not been seen in the commercial market; most GASE tool vendors are advocating the use of conventional testing tools to cope with OO testing problems.…”

The object-oriented (OO) paradigm is rapidly gaining acceptance in the software industry. However, the powerful features of this new paradigm also introduce a new set of OO software testing and maintelrance problems. The pioneering work in identifying the.se new problems includes [7, 10-12, 14, 16, 18]. The problems can be summarized as: 1) the understanding problem; 2) the complex interdependency problem; 3) the object state behavior testing pr'ol> lem; and 4) the tool sirpport problem. Detailed di.scussions of these problems will be provided later. Our industrial experience confirms these discoveries.In an attempt to solve these problems, the Software Engineering Center for Telecommunications at the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) and Fujitsu Network Transmission Systems, Inc., have undertaken a major effort in the past three years to develop a methodology for OO .software testing and maintenance. The results we have obtained .so far include: 1) an OO test model and a reverse engineering approach to recovering the designs of C++ programs, 2) a three level .scherrra and algorithriis for data flow testing of OO pr'ograms, 3) definition and identification of class firewalls and a test strateg)' lor regression testing of C++ programs, 4) a program-based rrrethod for object state behavior testing, and .^i) a scenariobased method for integration and acceptance testing. Parts of these results have been implemented in an integrated object-oriented testing and maintenance (OOTM) environment.Currently, most software development or'ganizations are still in the process of observing and/or making the transition to the OO paradigm; only a few have experienced the difficirlties of testing and maintaining 75
