Software fault tolerance is often necessary, but can itself be dangerously error-prone
because of the additional effort that must be involved in the programming process. The …

Fault-tolerant object-oriented software systems are inherently complex and have to cope
with an increasing number of exceptional conditions in order to meet the system's …

Object-oriented unit tests consist of sequences of method invocations. Behavior of an
invocation depends on the method's arguments and the state of the receiver at the …

As we move from developing procedure oriented to object oriented programs, the complexity
traditionally found in functions and procedures is moving to the connections among …

In a society characterized by frequent changes, software must evolve at the same pace. To
be able to evolve and adapt to new requirements, software has to be prepared for changes …

dependable object-oriented software using testing and design patterns Abstract The work …

Software developers often duplicate source code to replicate functionality. This practice can
hinder the maintenance of a software project: bugs may arise when two identical code …

In object-oriented programming, quality assurance is commonly provided through writing
unit tests, to exercise the operations of each class. If unit tests are created and maintained …

Current literature does not provide satisfactory techniques and tools for implementing and
testing reliable object-oriented software. My thesis contributes an efficient technique and tool …
