Abstract
CBSD needs to customize and compose components. Customization and composition can cause faults which are hard to detect by existing testing techniques, since components have different structures from traditional programs. This paper proposes a testing technique for customization and composition, and then it tailors the technique to COM component architecture. Since CBSD aims to reduce development cost, testing should consider the cost of testing. Effective test data will help reduce testing cost. Therefore, an empirical study shows that the technique proposed in this paper selects effective test data.
