Abstract
The quality of component-based software critically depends on how effectively testing is carried out. To address this problem, we have incorporated built-in tests into components as a way to facilitate their validation in different execution environments. However, the modularization of crosscutting concerns is ignored, leading to redundancy of code spread among several components. Aspect-orientation can improve component-based software development as it provides the appropriate mechanisms to keep in different modules concerns that cut across other concerns. Our goal is to define an UML compliant approach to incorporate testing features into components in an aspect-oriented software development. This paper is a stepping stone towards this goal. Here we explore how that can be achieved at the detailed design and implementation levels.
