Unit and Component Testing Using Design Patterns

Abstract

The suggested technique in this study shows a new approach to software testing that can be used as a basis for testing a variety of software structure, especially using design pattern. With this study, such design patterns as observer pattern, command pattern, bridge pattern, and chain of responsibility pattern have been used to show that a unit and component testing may be performed with some guidelines. For this study a way of using JUnit to perform an independent path testing as an example has also been introduced. Using the suggested technique, especially based on design patterns, various forms of software structure can be tested in some guided way.
