Title
Testing the C set++ collection class library
Abstract
In contrast to the explosion of activity in object-oriented design and programming, little attention has been given to object testing. In our approach, a driver class and an oracle class are developed for each class-undertest (CUT). The driver class is based on a testgraph that partially models the CUT as a state machine, but with vastly fewer states and transitions. The oracle class provides essentially the same operations as the CUT, but supports only the testgraph states and transitions. Surprisingly thorough testing is achievable with simple testgraphs and oracles. This paper describes the adaptation of this approach to the C Set++ Collection Class Library. The key problems and solution strategies are described. Templates, iterators, and scaling-up issues are addressed.
