A survey of software testing in refactoring based software models

The product created during Software Development effort has to be tested since bugs may get introduced during its development. This paper presents a comprehensive survey of the various software testing methodologies available to test for refactoring based software models. In this paper we have discussed about how Unit testing, Integration Testing and System Testing are being carried out in the refactoring based software models. To accommodate these strategies, several new techniques have been proposed like Fault-based Testing, Scenario-based Testing, and also develop a framework for refactoring based software model and brief discussion of these techniques has also been presented.
