 INTRODUCTION

ØFunction tester tests the functions in a

.net assembly.
ØBased on black box testing.
ØIntended audience: Software developers.
ØProgramming language used: C#
ØBased on the Reflection functionality of the

.net framework.
 OBJECTIVE

The project discusses the formulation

of the problem of function testing of
large software systems and tools to
solve the formulated problem. The
focus of the project is on a formulation
of software testing for verifying
functions of a system or the sub-
system.
 FUNCTION TESTING

ØPerhaps the most widely used testing

technique.

ØWe test what the program does- The

basic idea is to identify and then test each
program function thoroughly, one at a
time, such that it does what it is supposed
to do and does not do anything else.

 REFLECTION IN C#
Reflection –feature of .Netframework which provides
a powerful way of collecting and manipulate information
present in application's assemblies and its metadata.
Metadata contain all the Type information used by the
application. The ability to obtain information at
runtime also makes it even more advantageous. When
reflection is used along with system.type, it allows the
developer to get the valuable information about all the
types and about the assemblies.
 WORKING
Phases of
Implementation
ØLogin with username and password.

Ø Loading an executable file (.NET assembly).

Ø Extracting the classes.

Ø Extracting the functions.

Ø Test cases.

Ø Testing.

Ø Saving the test report as XML.

 ADVANTAGES

ØImprove code reliability

ØIdentify errors hidden in existing applications
ØWorks with any programming language that
targets the
.NET Framework, including Microsoft Visual
C#.NET,
Visual Basic .NET, and managed Visual C++
.NET.
Øcan be evolved into an online version.
ØSecurity features enabled
 DISADVANTAGES

ØCan test only user defined functions with

return value.
ØInputs to the functions -test cases- have to
be entered manually.
 CONCLUSION

The Function Tester is a software to test the

functions in a .netassembly to confirm that it
does exactly what it is intended to do. The
software loads a .net assembly, test it with the
test cases provided and then saves the test
result as an XML file. We have tried our best to
make this software efficient and easy to use.
