The object‐orientated paradigm provides the power for software development but at the
same time introduces some brand new problems. One of these problems is that the …

In software maintenance, a system has to be regression tested after modifying it. The goal of
regression testing is to ensure that modifications have not adversely affected the system …

To find defects in software, one needs test cases that execute the software systematically,
and oracles that assess the correctness of the observed behavior when running these test …

This paper describes a technique that selects, from a large set of test inputs, a small subset
likely to reveal faults in the software under test. The technique takes a program or software …

One regression test selection technique proposed for object-oriented programs is the Class
firewall regression test selection technique. The selection technique selects test cases for …

Regression testing is applied to modified software to provide confidence that the changed
parts behave as intended and that the unchanged parts have not been adversely affected by …

The authors address the question of how to decide which test cases to rerun after a
modification. They emphasize that it is important that these tests be selected systematically …

Because of the growing importance of object-oriented programming, a number of testing
strategies have been proposed. They are based either on pure black-box or white-box …

A commonly used approach for detecting defects in a program is to generate a suite of test
inputs which exercises the entire program under a given testing criterion. Current techniques …

When migrating from conventional to object-oriented programming, developers face di cult
decisions in modifying their development process to best use the new technology. In …
