Abstract

Software testing is an important phase of the software development life cycle. Testing is the process of executing the program with the goal of finding errors. The purpose of testing is not only to find the bugs in software but also to improve the quality of software. This paper compares traditional and object-oriented software testing. Today, object-oriented concepts are used throughout software engineering. Testing of object-oriented software is different from testing of traditional software. Object-oriented software testing offers new challenges to the software testing team, because the object-oriented approach supports several new and powerful features. This paper focuses on the need for adopting an object-oriented software-testing approach and the challenges that occur in object-oriented testing.
