A Java-oriented distributed program testing system. Journal of Software, 2003,14(4):743~749. Abstract: Because the program is running in a distributed way, both the concurrent features and the runtime environments should be taken into account when testing a distributed program. A Java oriented distributed program test system is put forward in this paper, which is called JDPT (Java-oriented distributed program testing system). JDPT defines events based on the runtime environments, records execution processes of the distributed program as event sequences, and defines event sequencing constraints to check the validity of those feasible set of event sequences. By the technology, the JDPT can effectively estimate the correctness of concurrent executions of the tested program within distributed environments, and can be used to test Java programs running upon multiple platforms. Key words: software testing; distributed program testing; Java; concurrent program; event sequencing constraints 摘 要: 由于程序的分布运行,测试分布式程序必须同时考虑并发特性和运行环境.介绍了一个面向Java语言的分布式程序测试系统JDPT(Java-oriented distributed program testing system).JDPT基于运行环境定义事件,通过事件序列记录分布式程序的运行过程,并定义事件约束检测可行事件序列集的有效性.通过该技术,JDPT可以有效地判断程序在运行环境中并发执行的正确性,适用于跨平台的Java程序测试. 关键词: 软件测试;分布式程序测试;Java;并发程序;事件约束 中图法分类号: TP311　　　文献标识码: A 随着Internet的普及和计算机软、硬件技术的发展,分布式程序和应用已成为今后软件开发的主要方向之一.与集中式的串行程序相比,分布式程序需要考虑与运行环境的合作以及分布单元间的并发问题,这为分布式程序测试工具带来了新的挑战. 保障分布式程序的正确性需要从两方面入手:一是从分布式程序自身出发,侧重并发程序的形式化表示和验证;二是在分布运行环境中监控和记录分布式程序的执行过程,分析程序在各种运行环境中的执行状态和性能.测试需要结合这两个方面,从形式化表示中获得规约,在运行环境中检测程序实现与规约的一致性. 目前已有的分布式程序测试工具如MAD(monitoring and debugging
