Does any one have any references about testing object-oriented systems.
Your help will be very appreciated. Thank you in advance.

	Take a look at a rescent issue of JOOP where they address some of the
	issues with testability of OO programs.  The gist of the story is that
	one has to retest not only the all the stuff further down in the
	the hierarchy but also all of the stuff leading back to the root of
	the class inheritance hierarchy.  This makes maintenance of OO programs
	much more tedious than conventional SW according to this article.
