Abstract

A software component must be tested every time it is reused, to guarantee the quality of both the component itself and the system in which it is to be integrated. To reduce the costs of the test phase, this article proposes a model to build highly testable components, embedding monitoring mechanisms and assertions, besides an infrastructure that generates test cases from an UML specification. Our approach proposes the insertion of the mechanisms directly into the intermediate code, allowing the creation of testable COTS components.
