Abstract

Testing the inherited features is clearly essential, however, the testing process can easily become very complex if features in the child classes are unnecessarily tested. In this paper, an object-oriented testing technique "Inheritance Testing in Classes" (ITC) is proposed that facilitates the testing of object-oriented code by incorporating procedures to support inheritance testing. ITC provides a framework that helps to ensure that appropriate components and interactions are tested by generating code segments that drive the testing process. ITC is developed and tested using the object-oriented (OO) paradigm.
