Tool Support for Unit Testing of Aspect-Oriented Software

In this paper, we present a data ow based unit testing approa h and its tool support for aspe t-oriented software. Our approa h tests two types of units for an aspe t-oriented program, i.e., aspe ts that are modular units of ross utting implementation of the program, and those lasses whose behaviors may be a e ted by one or more aspe ts. We use the ontrol ow graph as a basis to ompute def-use pairs of aspe ts or lasses being tested in an aspe t-oriented program and use su h information to perform dataow testing on the aspe ts and lasses of the program.
