Software components and component-based software development
(CBSD) are acknowledged as the best approach for constructing
quality software at reasonable cost. Composing Software Components:
A Software-testing Perspective describes a 10-year investigation
into the underlying principles of CBSD. By restricting attention to
the simplest cases, startling results are obtained:
Components are tested using only executable code. Their behavior
is recorded and presented graphically.
Functional and non-functional behavior of systems synthesized
from components are calculated from component tests alone. No
access to components themselves is required.
Fast, accurate tools support every aspect of CBSD from design
through debugging.
Case studies of CBSD also illuminate software testing in
general, particularly an expanded role for unit testing and the
treatment of non-functional software properties.
This unique book:
Contains more than a dozen case studies of fully worked-out
component synthesis, with revealing insights into fundamental
testing issues.
Presents an original, fundamental theory of component
composition that includes persistent state and concurrency, based
on functional software testing rather than proof-of-programs.
Comes with free supporting software with tutorial examples and
data for replication of examples. The Perl software has been tested
on Linux, Macintosh, and Windows platforms. Full documentation is
provided.
Includes anecdotes and insights from the author's 50-year career
in computing as systems programmer, manager, researcher, and
teacher.
Composing Software Components: A Software-testing Perspective
will help software researchers and practitioners to understand the
underlying principles of component testing. Advanced students in
computer science, engineering, and mathematics can also benefit
from the book as a supplemental text and reference."
