Conformity behavior of dissimilar methods for object oriented constraint programming

15251

This paper presents an approach for testing the conformity of overridden and overriding methods using inheritance principle. The first objective of this work is the reduction of the test sequences by using only one generation of test data. The second result is the conformity testing of methods even if they are not similar: Our approach shows how the similarity partitioning can be used for testing not the similarity behavior between methods but the conformity behavior of subclasses for an object oriented model. In this work we use a mathematical modeling such as domain partitioning and states graph for testing the conformity of methods during inheritance operation. That is why our approach specifies all cases of conformity behaviors for similar and dissimilar methods.
