Testing and Quality Assurance for Component BasedARTECH HOUSE, INC. ISBN 1-58053-480-5 463 Pages English PDF 2.81 MBWhat is this book about?The widespread development and reuse of software components is regarded by many as one of the next biggest phenomena for software. Reusing high-quality software components in software development has the potential for drastically improving the quality and development productivity of component-based software. However, the widespread reuse of a software component with poor quality may literally lead to disasters. Componentbased software engineering involves many unique characteristics, some of which have unintended consequences and side effects. The primary goal of this book is to elaborate on these characteristics, point out possible strengths and weaknesses, and develop methodologies to maximize the quality and productivity potentials associated with development and reuse of software components. Software testing is one of the most important phases in software engineering, and it plays a pivotal role in software quality assurance. This book focuses on testing and the larger context of quality assurance. Part I provides a general discussion of software components, componentbased software systems, the concomitant testing challenges, and the important issue of testability. Part II focuses on validation methods for software components. Part III covers the testing of component-based software systems, including integration testing, regression testing, and performance measurement. Part IV is devoted to quality assurance for software components and computer-based software systems.
