Data Flow Approach to Testing Java Programs Supported with DFC
Journal Title: e-Informatica Software Engineering Journal - Year 2015, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
Code based (``white box'') approach to testing can be divided into two main types: control flow coverage and data flow coverage. The data flow testing was introduced to structural programming languages and later adopted for object languages. Among many tools supporting code based testing of object programs, only JaBUTi and DFC (Data Flow Coverage) support data flow testing of Java programs. DFC is a tool implemented at the Institute of Computer Science, Warsaw University of Technology, as an Eclipse plug-in. The objective of this paper is to present data flow coverage testing of Java programs supported by DFC. DFC finds all definition-use pairs in tested unit and also provides the definition-use graph for methods. After test execution, the information which def-use pairs were covered is shown. An example of data flow testing of Java program is also presented.
