Towards A Practical Approach to Test Aspect-Oriented Software
نویسندگان
چکیده
Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) provides new constructs and tools to handle cross-cutting concerns in programs. Fully realizing the potentials of Aspect-Oriented Software Development requires new abstractions and techniques for testing. This paper proposes a first step towards a practical approach to test aspect-oriented software. The proposed approach is accompanied by a selection algorithm that can select test cases that are relevant to aspects under test. A new testing coverage definition is proposed to specify the sufficiency of test cases on the aspect being tested. A tool is developed to support the approach, automating test case selection and coverage calculation. A detailed case study of banking account processing illustrates this initial approach.

Dwarf Frankenstein is still in your memory: tiny code reuse attacks
Code reuse attacks such as return oriented programming and jump oriented programming are the most popular exploitation methods among attackers. A large number of practical and non-practical defenses are proposed that differ in their overhead, the source code requirement, detection rate and implementation dependencies. However, a usual aspect among these methods is consideration of the common be...
متن کاملA Symmetric and Unified Approach Towards Combining Aspect-Oriented and Component-Based Software Development
In this paper, we propose a novel approach towards integrating the ideas behind Aspect-Oriented and Component-Based Software Development. Our approach aims at achieving a symmetric, unified component architecture that treats aspects and components as uniform entities. To this end, a novel component model is introduced that does not employ specialized aspect constructs for modularizing crosscutt...

Aspect-oriented engineering has been introduced as a new development approach based on modularization in order to increase the maintainability and reusability of software. Aspect-oriented software engineering uses the concept of aspect to modularize crosscutting concerns. Today, this approach is considered in the both research and industrial environments. Different methods has been proposed for...
متن کاملAspect Oriented Software Development: Towards A Philosophical Basis
Object oriented software measurement has been given a foundational, theoretical basis by the research of Chidamber and Kemerer, partly based on Wand and Weber’s interpretation of the ontology of Bunge. Aspect oriented software development lacks such a sound theoretical basis, with the result that there is some confusion over what constitutes an aspect and how best to measure and assess the prop...
متن کاملFrom AOP to UML: Towards an Aspect-Oriented Architectural Modeling Approach
Capturing concerns that crosscut the boundaries of multiple components in software architecture descriptions is problematic. Standard description languages, such as UML, do not provide adequate means to understand and modularize such concerns, but aspect-oriented programming techniques do. This paper explores and analyzes the suitability of UML for aspect-oriented architectural modeling. It tak...
