Abstract :
Middleware platforms are in widespread use for distributed systems. Their quality is key to the stability and interoperabilily in multi-vendor heterogeneous environments. It is the aim of the EC IST project CORVAL2 to enhance the techniques used to validate the conformance of OMG´s CORBA technology. The paper investigates testability aspects of CORBA ORBs and considers CORBA based systems both from a theoretical and practical view on testing. Test strategies are proposed and a conformance test suite presented
