Presentation Content
Introduction and Motivation
>Software component approach>System constructed from set of individual components potentially
created by various parties>Each component considered as black-box with no externally
observable state>Testing of components
>Often tested for extra-functional properties and quality of services (functionality according specification often considered implied)
>Often utilization of potentially incorrect models of components>Simulation framework for testing of real components
Component Models and Frameworks
>Component model>Specifies the look, behavior, and interaction of the components
>Component framework> Implementation of an specific component model>Not to be confused with simulation framework for testing
>OSGi component framework> Widely used in many fields of industry
>Spring DM extension of the OSGi>Simplification of the development process
Simulation Framework for Component Testing
>A simulation framework designed using SpringDM for testing of real components>No need for creation of models of the tested components>Testing of OSGi components
>Framework also constructed from components>Modularity of the framework>Easy to change the features of the simulation
> Implementation of the simulation framework >Tomáš Kabíček and Matěj Prokop as two master thesis
Framework – Types of Components
>Components of the framework>Components necessary for functionality of the framework
>Real tested components>Components to be tested in the simulation framework
>Simulated components>Components for providing of the services required by the real
tested components> Intermediate components
>Components for mediating of the services between two real tested components
Framework – Features I
>Possible to test one or more real components in simulation environment>Services required by the real tested components provided by
other real components or simulated components>All services invocations managed by the simulation framework
using event calendar without necessity of deprecated methods>Depiction of components
>Three variously detailed variants, automated components layout>Depiction of the simulation run by components highlighting and
depiction of the events in the calendar
Framework – Features II
>Logging of all events of the simulation run into a text file> Logged all events, similar to the depiction of the calendar, but
more detailed>Simulation scenarios described in XML files
>Description of the components and their types>Description of external events in the simulation run>Description of the behavior of the simulated components (in
separate XML files)
Framework – Restrictions and Issues
>Restriction>Only for OSGi/SpringDM components
> Issues>No collections of statistics/results aside the log>Only one simple case study implemented, many aspects not
tested>No handling of system time calls, remote services etc.
Framework – Live Demonstration
>Demonstration of the simple case study directly in the simulation framework
Future Work
> Implementation of a component for statistics collections>As a master thesis of a student
>Testing of two more advanced case studies>File manager>Traffic crossroad
>Solving of issues>Handling of system time calls and remote connections
