Abstract

Software testing is one of the most time consuming activities in the software development cycle. Current research suggests that aspect-oriented programming (AOP) can enhance testing and has the potential to be more effective than macros or test interfaces. There are two major weaknesses when using aspects which are the inability of aspect code to be woven at all execution points and the lack of direct support for interweaving aspects with other aspects. In this paper we address the two major weaknesses and provide a means to overcome them. In addition, current research has focused only on using aspects to test functional requirements (FRs) and paid little attention to nonfunctional requirements (NFRs). In this paper we perform a feasibility study of using aspects to test NFRs which is based on two categorizations of NFRs. The first categorization splits NFRs into four types namely functionally restrictive, additive restrictive, policy restrictive, and architecturally restrictive and the second categorization splits the NFRs into two types: operational and nonoperational. These categorizations would serve as an initial point for developing frameworks or methodologies for testing NFRs with aspects.

在面向对象系统中使用方面测试非功能需求
软件测试是软件开发周期中最耗时的活动之一。当前的研究表明,面向方面编程(AOP)可以增强测试,并且具有比宏或测试接口更有效的潜力。在使用方面时,有两个主要的弱点,即方面代码无法在所有执行点编织,以及缺乏对将方面与其他方面交织在一起的直接支持。在本文中,我们解决了两个主要的弱点,并提供了一种方法来克服它们。此外,目前的研究主要集中在使用方面来测试功能需求,而对非功能需求的关注较少。本文基于两种不同类别的不确定性,对不确定性进行了方面检验的可行性研究。第一种分类将nfr分为四种类型,即功能限制性、附加限制性、策略限制性和架构限制性;第二种分类将nfr分为两种类型:可操作的和非可操作的。这些分类将作为开发框架或方法的初始点,用于测试带有方面的nfr。
