1. specific techniques supported by small examples to illustrate specific testing algorithms,
2. techniques for testing system level models using enhanced inspection and review procedures, and
3. a process for system testing presented within the context of a complete testing process for object-oriented systems.

The techniques presented in the tutorial are intended to provide a scalable process that can be tailored to the size of a project and the degree of coverage required by the type of application. The three major benefits from this tutorial include specific testing techniques, a comprehensive testing strategy that is integrated into the development process, and a specific infrastructure for building a reusable testing environment.

Attendee Background: Participants should have participated in the specification and testing of complete applications that were constructed using object-oriented development techniques. System testers and software developers interested in the complete product realization process will benefit from this tutorial. Test managers and quality control personnel who are technically oriented will also benefit.

Dr. John D. McGregor is an associate professor of computer science at Clemson University and a senior partner in Software Architects, a software design consulting firm, specializing in object-oriented design techniques. Dr. McGregor has developed testing techniques for object-oriented software and developed custom testing processes for a variety of companies.
