  2. Object class testing • Complete test coverage of a class involves • Testing all operations associated with an object • Setting and interrogating all object attributes • Exercising the object in all possible states • Inheritance makes it more difficult to design object class tests as the information to be tested is not localised

  3. Testing OO software • Based on UML specifications • Use cases • Class diagrams • State transition diagrams • … • Problem: Effort focus on requirements not comprehensive  quality?

  4. Scenario based testing • Concentrates on (functional) requirements • Based on • use cases • corresponding sequence diagrams • Tests normal as well as exceptional behavior

  5. Example

  6. Scenarios for ATM Example

  7. Test Procedure (1) • Establish testing budget • Rank Use Cases (& variants) according to • Relative frequencies • Criticality • Allocate #test cases to each use case (and possibly variants) • Develop test cases for scenarios

  8. Testing a use case/scenarios (1) • A scenario is a path through a sequence diagram • There are many different scenarios associated with a sequence diagram!

  9. What can be wrong? • Incorrect or missing output • Missing function/feature in an object • Incorrect parameter values  boundary value analysis • Correct message - wrong object • Incorrect message - right object • Incorrect object state • Message sent to destroyed object • Incorrect exception thrown • Incorrect exception handling • Incorrect assumption about receiver’s class • Class casts

  10. Testing a use case/scenarios (2) • All paths in sequence diagram should be executed • Focus on messages from the actor/UI to the system • If possible: check “internal” objects • Extract control flow information from a sequence diagram • Test branches and loops • Test exceptions • Consider state

  11. Example: Establish Session

  12. Example (cont.) • Several checks are performed • Is the card an ATM card? • Is the card stolen? • Has the customer a valid bank account? • Has the customer a valid PIN? • Three chances to enter the PIN • Service charge if from different bank

  13. Test Procedure (2) • Translate the sequence diagram into a flow graph • Each message or group of consecutive messages becomes a segment (box). • A conditional action (branch, iteration) ends a segment • Each bracketed (loop) condition becomes a decision (hexagon)

  14. Establish Session

  15. Path conditions • Input and object state need to satisfy the path conditions • Identify predicates on each path, work from first predicate and identify required input and state variable values • Do the same for the next path conditions until the last one • Some paths may not be feasible

  16. Example: Path Conditions

  17. Special cases • Sequence diagrams rarely include two significant details: • Polymorphism: receiver has to be of a specific type but not an instance of one specific class • If needed: check instances of different classes • Exception-handling: “jumping out” of the sequence diagram • Catch exception

  18. Test Procedure (3) • Develop the Use Case / Class coverage matrix • Analyze matrix • Which classes are not covered by test cases? • Which methods of a class are not covered? • Create additional test cases

  19. Use case / class coverage matrix

  20. Test case document • Usual cover information • Use case test descriptions • References • Appendices

  21. Test Procedure (4) • Define test case • Name • Unique number • Textual description of test procedure • Based on flow graph and conditions • Includes expected results after each step define condition that allows to determine if the step succeeded or failed

  22. Use case test descriptions • For every use case/sequence diagram in the design document • a test case that shows that the scenarios and its variations can be executed by the system • describe as precondition the objects and their state that get messages from the UI • As steps: list the sequence of messages that are send from the UI to other objects • test cases for all exceptions of the use case

  23. Example: Test case definition (1) Test “Establish session” UID: 0001 Description: Precondition: ATM is running and no sessions exist … Step 1: test “begin session” To execute: Create a session object Expected result: session object exists and is in its initial state Step 2: test “no ATM card was entered” Precondition: Card entered is no ATM card To execute: Read card Expected result: NoATMCard exception is thrown and session object was deleted

  24. Example: Test case definition (2) … Step 3: test “get PIN” Precondition: Card entered is ATM card To execute (a): displayEnterPIN Expected result: “Enter PIN” is displayed To execute (b): getEntry Expected result: 4 digit entry of a stolen card To execute (c): checkCard Expected result: StolenCardException is thrown …

  25. Example: Test case definition (3) … To execute (d): getEntry Expected result: 4 digit entry of invalid account To execute (e): checkCard Expected result: false To execute (g): getEntry Expected result: 4 digit entry of valid account To execute (h): checkCard Expected result: true …

  26. Executing tests • Develop automatic test drivers • In assignment: test driver should run on CLIENT side to make sure that the client/server communication is properly implemented • Use case tests • develop test classes that execute the use cases without user involvement • Test the use cases manually with UI • System test driver calls all use case test classes

  27. Implementing test cases • Test driver code must • create the system state described in the test case • call the method to test • check if the expected result is produced • print test result to file/console e.g. • count the number of failed test to produce a summary result at the end

  28. Test driver (1) package atm.impl.test; public class ATMUseCaseTest { private int allErrors = 0; //count #errors private void usecase1 () { //test use case 1 try{ System.out.println(“========“); System.out.println(“Testing Use Case 1: Establish Session”); testStep1(); testStep2(); testStep3(); … System.out.print(“Establish Session: Errors found = ”, allErrors); System.out.print(“Finished testing Use Case 1: Establish Session”); } catch (Exception anExc) {System.out.println(“Unexpected exception “, anExc, “in Use Case 1”); allErrors = allErrors +1; System.out.print(“Establish Session: Errors found = ”, allErrors); System.out.println(“Testing Use Case 1: Establish Session”);} } …

  29. Test driver (2) private void testStep1() { try{//test step 1 of use case 1 System.out.print(“Testing Step 1: Begin Session ”); //create precondition/state //execute test Session aSession = new Session(); //check postcondition and print result if (aSession == null) {System.out.println(“failed”); allErrors = allErrors + 1; } else {System.out.println(“succeeded”);} } catch (Exception anExc) {System.out.println(“Unexpected exception “, anExc, “in Step 1”); allErrors = allErrors + 1; } } …
