It is indeed a very crucial process rather than a single process. To develop quality software, various approaches can be used like module-oriented, object-oriented, aspect-oriented and component based. Various issues for object oriented are considered but AOPs have never been properly analysed. Therefore, in this paper a collection of various references drawn from journals, conference and workshop proceedings, thesis, and technical reports on the subject of testing aspectoriented software using various manual and automation(using meta-heuristics) techniques is presented. Each reference is accompanied by a summary of important finding. A tabular form representation analysing each paper in various fields is presented. In this paper , a very critical review of literature to help the researched is done supported by bibliography.
