Abstract
Integration testing is an important part of the testing process, but few integration testing techniques have been systematically studied or defined. This paper presents an integration testing technique based on couplings between software components. The coupling-based testing technique is described, and coverage criteria for three types of 12 coupling levels are defined. This technique can be used to support integration testing of software components, and satisfies part of the FAA´s requirements for structural coverage analysis of software
