The review: Lifecycle of object-oriented software testing

The object-oriented paradigm is fast growing acceptance in the software industry. But, the powerful features of this new paradigm also introduce a set of Object Oriented software testing and maintenance problems. This problem can be handled by various approaches but there is an obvious need of complete study of problem and step-by-step solution. So to cover this problem we are proposing a main life-cycle for object-oriented software. This cycle provide us a big point of view to test object-oriented software. Although it is not much differ from conventional testing but helpful for the thorough study of various approaches. In this paper, we are presenting a main life-cycle as well as a survey study of different approaches.
