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.
