Towards a Framework for Constructing Context-Specific Migration Methods for Test Cases

Abstract

Test case reuse in migration projects brings double benefit: reuse of valuable knowledge as well as time and cost savings. Due to system changes, a direct reuse of test cases might be impossible. To facilitate reuse, the migration context, from both system migra- tion as well as testing perspective, has to be consid- ered. For example, system changes need to be detected, understood and then reflected to the test cases or the characteristics of the target testing framework have to be identified. In this paper, we present a novel framework that enables construction of context-specific migration methods for test cases.
