软件体系结构经过10年的研究和发展取得了一系列可喜的成就.目前,一些有代表性的软件测试策略被研究人员提议用于软件体系结构的测试.但是,传统的软件测试技术和方法不能直接用来解决软件体系结构的测试问题,需要改进传统的软件测试技术和方法,或者开发新的软件体系结构测试技术和方法,使之能够更好地解决软件体系结构测试中存在的问题.本文概述了软件体系结构测试策略的研究现状,剖析了影响软件软件体系结构测试的因素,并讨论了软件体系结构分析与测试的未来研究主题.
Currently, many people are doing the research of software architecture analysis, evaluation, testing and verification techniques, and some representative testing strategies are proposed to test software architecture. But, traditional software testing methods can not be used directly to solve the test issues of software architecture, either some techniques are needed to improve the traditional methods or new software architecture testing techniques are developed to solve the test issues related to software architecture. In this article, the research state of the art of software architecture testing is surveyed and discussed in the first, the factors affecting on software architecture testing are analyzed in the second, and the future research topics are debated in the final.
