Testing object-oriented software (abstract)

Testing of object-oriented software is just as important as testing non-object-oriented software, but the process is fundamentally different because of such factors as information hiding, encapsulation, and inheritance. This tutorial teaches you the terms and concepts of testing software in general, and object-oriented software in particular; how to apply a number of different testing techniques to object-oriented software; how to construct test cases; and an appreciation of what is involved in planning a successful software testing effort. The testing techniques that are covered include both white-box testing such as basis path testing and coverage testing, and black-box testing techniques such as equivalence class partitioning and boundary value analysis.

This course is designed for those with experience in object-oriented software engineering who would like to follow a more rigorous approach to testing.
