Abstract

Along with the evolution of the technique and use of aspect-oriented programming (AOP), the difficulty of testing the aspect-oriented programs is now receiving much attention. Besides lots of methods of testing AOP, testing the woven source code seems to be a feasible way. In this paper we discuss the feasibility of this method and propose an OOP testing method with case study for AspectJ programs in which the decompiled woven code is tested.

A pointcut-based coverage analysis approach for aspect-oriented programs

Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) is a promising technology that supports separation of crosscutting concerns (i.e., functionality that tends to be tangled with, and scattered through the rest of the system). In AOP, a method-like construct named advice ...
