Object-oriented testing revolves around the examination of individual classes within an object oriented program. Objects are instances of these classes. In the article ” Object Oriented Testing in Software Testing” , the author talks about the evolution between old testing methods to object-oriented testing. The author also talks about the advantages of object oriented testing, which include reliability, extendibility, and reusability.
Navigating Object-Oriented Testing
Strategies and techniques for developing test cases in Object Oriented Testing could include Fault-based testing, scenario-based testing, and class testing based on method testing,. These different test cases / techniques play a pivotal role when it comes to trying to find all defects, improper interactions among classes, or being less time consuming. Object-oriented testing can however present some challenges such as testing inheritance in larger systems or the inability to dynamically test classes.
Why did I pick this Article?
I chose this article because it offers a great understanding of Object-oriented testing and highlights the many techniques that can be used, also the many different advantages of Object oriented testing. Moreover, the article does a good job explaining the evolution of testing methods, to object-oriented testing and some challenges you may face in testing Object-oriented programs.
Personal Reflection
This article has broadened my understanding of object-oriented testing, specifically detailing the transition from old traditional methods to object-oriented. I was also able to grasp the many advantages and challenges that object oriented presents, allowing me to know why we should and should not use it in certain scenarios. The knowledge gained from reading this article will play a pivotal role when approached to testing in object-oriented environments. The knowledge for developing test cases and the advantages and challenges will guide me in future projects.
