So far we have described testing of fairly simple classes—those whose instances do not interact significantly with other instances.

Test cases are identified and generated from the class specification and implementation. We have shown how to identify test case requirements from preconditions and postconditions as well as from state transition diagrams. Adding interaction test cases improves code coverage.

We have presented a design for a test driver based on the implementation ...
