Hardware Techniques for Testing Software Components
Peter Walsh - Daniel Hoffman
Abstract:
Object-oriented software engineering concerns itself with system
construction using standardized components in a manner
analogous to the construction of hardware systems.
These components are contained in class libraries.
A number of class libraries have been developed and are commercially available.
Class libraries should be well defined and
documented, portable and carefully tested.
However, there is no accepted practice for testing these libraries.
In this paper, we draw on hardware testing experience
and describe an effective scheme
for testing class iterators using checksums.
