Representing of Dependence Model and Class Testing Using Program Dependence Model

This paper presents the method dependence model representing implementation level information including the dependence among variables in an object oriented program. I also propose implementation-based class testing technique based on the test adequacy criterion of an object-oriented program. Considering inter- data member dependences and a set of axioms for test data adequacy, it generates sequences of methods as test cases which satisfy a flow graph-based testing criterion. For a derived class testing, it considers inheritance relationship and the reusability of the testing information for its parent classes which verified the reduction of test cost through the experiment.
