Abstract: In an object-oriented model, a class is considered to be a basic unit of testing, methods (member functions) of a class can have different types of inner-method relationships. The causal relationships between methods specify the sequence in which the methods can be executed. This paper proposes a class Petri net machine (CPNM) for specifying method sequence specification of a class and present a test-case generation technique based on Petri nets. The generation of test cases for the method sequences of a class using coverage criteria is discussed.

Keywords: Petri nets, class Petri net machine, object-oriented class testing.
