摘      要：In this article, authors identify five levels of object-oriented testing; four of these map nicely into commonly accepted unit, integration, and system levels of traditional software testing. They identify two new testing constructs and a directed graph notation that helps formalize object-oriented integrated testing. These are illustrated with an object-oriented formulation of an automated teller machine system. The source code for this system is available from the authors. Authors begin an important distinction: structure vs. behavior. Most of the popular notations used in software development (Entity relationship models, dataflow diagrams, structure charts and PDLs) portray software structure: the components, relationships among these, the interfaces, control and dataflow. The object-oriented constructs that are introduced here are deliberately behavioral rather than structural. To provide a context for object-oriented integration testing, authors highlight the traditional software (and system) testing notions that have special implications for object-oriented software testing.
