Research on path generation for software architecture testing matrix transform-based

Software architecture testing is a technology on the connection and functions of system components. It is an important research topic in the area of software engineering. The testing at SA level is a hotspot and difficulty in the field of software testing. This paper proposes a technology of software architecture testing matrix transform-based. Software architecture interface connectivity graph is used to describe the connection relationship between components and connector, and gives the definition of design structure matrix, adjacency matrix, and reachability matrix, generate testing coverage path of the ICG according to testing coverage criteria and reachability matrix. Finally, we verify the testing technology in the example and realize software architecture testing.
