Abstract

The major objective of Component Based Software Development (CBSD) is to reduce the cost and time of software development by reusing available components. Testing is an important phase in CBSD. During the process of component testing reuse, the storage and management of test information play a key role. As a result, it is important to research the issues about the information library for component testing. This paper presents an infrastructure of component test information library. Firstly, the architecture of the library is established. Then the component model for test information description is extended based on BIDM. Towards the main functions of test information library, the classification schemes, retrieval strategy, verification and evaluation method are proposed. As a support for component developers, reusers and the third party, the information library for component testing and its functions will be helpful for component testing and reuse.
