Abstract

Software systems, which are dynamically composed from plug-and-play components, allow users to adapt an application to the working scenario at hand. While the testing of individual components is well understood, there are no systematic techniques that test if components can be assembled in arbitrary orders. This paper introduces a method and a tool for testing the dynamic composability of component-based software systems. It is based on Plux.NET, a plug-in platform for plug-and-play composition of .NET applications.
