Abstract

In the current trend, design pattern has been widely used for improving software quality. However, using design patterns is not easy, developers need to understand their complex structure and behavior, and have to apply them in the correctly. Therefore, several approaches are proposed to check the violence of pattern application in a system. We argue only static checking to patter structure is not enough, dynamic testing to test the patterns’ semantics is necessary. In this paper, we propose a test model for design patterns. We explore the potential error point of each design pattern thoroughly, and encapsulate their testing methods into a package called “test pattern for design pattern (TP4DP)”. Just like the design pattern, our proposed TP4DP includes the sample code of executable test cases which facilitate their application practically.
