构件软件测试技术研究进展

软构件技术提供了一种较面向对象方法更为有效的软件设计模式，构件软件被广泛应用并成为一种主流软件形态．然而，构件的内部信息屏蔽、演变速度快以及构件间的异质、松耦合等特点给构件软件系统的测试带来极大的挑战，寻求高效的构件软件测试技术和开发实用的测试工具是当今软件业界一个亟待解决的课题．分析和归纳近年来一些典型的构件、构件软件测试方法和技术并对当前较为有效的测试框架和工具进行总结；最后，对其今后若干研究方向进行了展望．

Research Progress in Testing Techniques of Component-Based Software

Software component technology provides a more effective design pattern than object-oriented methodology. Component-based software has been widely used in many fields and become a fairly popular software form in recent years. However, the features of component, such as information encapsulating and high evolvability, and properties of component composition (e.g., heterogeneous, loosely coupled and interoperability, etc.) bring great challenges to the testing of component-based software systems. In this paper, the representative testing methods and techniques for component and component-based software in recent years are analyzed and surveyed. Some effective testing frameworks and tools are also summarized and compared. Furthermore, the directions of future research are explored.
