Abstract
A software unit development and test methodology in which a software application or project is dividing into conceptual units. Each unit is first developed and debugged in an isolated testing environment which simulates the actual testing environment through test conditions. Following unit testing, other tested units are incrementally combined and tested in a similar isolated manner. Automatic generation of a testing environment and development system driving debugging and testing software, for measuring testing completeness, and for verifying correctness of future development and maintenance efforts are provided.
