Comparison Between Traditional and Object -Oriented Approach in Software Engineering

Abstract

Testing is one of the most important and challenging part of software development life cycle.  It takes a lot of time and cost of total software development life cycle but unavoidable, executing this phase with the intent to find errors or fault to make a software error free and satisfies all the requirement of end users. This paper highlights the comparison between Traditional approaches and Object-Oriented approach to software testing.  Traditional approach has a lot of model, is used to deal with different type of  projects -  such as waterfall, prototyping, spiral, iterative and v-shaped, however, there is dilemma  as how best fit for  object oriented approaches i.e. is widely used. In recent years, most of the developers surge their interest in object-oriented methodology. A lots of researches  have been made in the field of software testing are carried out in academic as well as in industry. There is a noticeable differences between conventional software development process to object oriented process as well as conventional testing and object oriented testing with testing process is same for all software development paradigms, the approach of testing may differ widely. The main objective of this paper is to overview on comparison between traditional and object oriented approach.
