Data Flow Testing of Aspects
|
Abstract:
In this paper, we present a data- ow based approach to testing aspects. Our approach considers three levels of testing for aspects, i.e., intra-module testing, inter-module testing, and intra-aspect testing. For an individual module (i.e., a piece of advice, an introduction, or a method), or a public module along with other modules it calls in an aspect, we perform intra-module testing or inter-module testing. For modules that are accessible outside the aspect and can be invoked in any order by users of the aspect, we perform intraaspect testing. Where the intra-module or inter-module testing has the similar meaning as the intra-method or intermethod testing of object-oriented software, the intra-aspect testing is designed to test some specic features of an aspect. We also present the aspect control- ow graph for an aspect to compute def-use pairs of the aspect and use such information to support data- ow testing on aspects.
