Abstract—Testing the inherited features is clearly essential;
however, the testing process can easily become very complex if
features in the child classes are unnecessarily tested. In this
paper, an object-oriented testing technique "Inheritance
Testing in Classes" (ITC) is proposed that facilitates the testing
of object-oriented code by incorporating procedures to support
inheritance testing. ITC provides a framework that helps to
ensure that appropriate components and interactions are
tested by generating code segments that drive the testing
process. ITC is developed and tested using the object-oriented
(OO) paradigm.
