Abstract
Object-oriented software engineering is becoming increasingly popular for system development, primarily due to the production of reusable components such as class libraries. Each time a component is reused, the issue arises as to how to verify or test the component in its new environment. A well tested component may require additional testing when it is reused, since errors may be introduced when it is placed in a new context. The foundation of an object-oriented system is the class structure, upon which program functionality is built. The class structure also constrains the objects stored in a database. Changes to the class structure can require significant maintenance of the persistent object store and existing programs, as well as significant retesting. Adaptive software describes a software model where functional components are developed with the intent of being flexible to changes in the class structure, allowing an adaptive program component to be reused with many class structure...
