Abstract

   With  the  advent  of object-oriented languages and the portability of
   Java,  the  development  and  use  of  reusable software components is
   becoming  a  reality.  Effective  component reuse depends on component
   reliability,   which   in   turn  depends  on  thorough  testing.  The
   literature, however, provides few approaches to component testing that
   are  practical  for  the  input  generation and output checking of the
   large  number  of test cases required. In this seminar, the Roast tool
   and  techniques  for  the  testing of Java classes is presented. Roast
   includes  test case templates to define test cases, a set of four unit
   operations  that  facilitate  automated class testing, and support for
   the  testing  of concurrent Java monitors. The tool and techniques are
   illustrated on a number of small examples

   Have a nice day.

   The  programming environment meetings are a forum for the presentation
   and  discussion  of  new  ideas,  ongoing and finished work. A typical
   meeting  addresses  a subject in the area of programming environments,
   program  generation, algebraic specification, term rewriting, parsing,
   etc.  A presentation ideally takes between 45 and 90 minutes. Meetings
   taking  longer  than 45 minutes are interrupted by a coffeebreak. Most
   Thursdays,  a  meeting is held which starts at 10:00 am. in one of the
   rooms at CWI/WINS. Exceptionally, dates or times may change.

   The    program    of    the    meetings    is    available   on   WWW:
