Abstract

An aspect oriented programming is gaining a lot of popularity these days, there is a growing interest because of crosscutting concerns in object oriented systems. When the aspect oriented features are added into object oriented features the new program needs to be regression tested, and, to reduce the cost, Selection technique is used which eliminates the redundant test cases and thus makes them cost effective. Unfortunately the already existing approaches of object oriented programming does not work out for aspect oriented programming because of the following new features of aspects such as join points ,crosscutting concerns ,aspect weaving, etc. Therefore, this paper proposes the techniques used for object oriented programs and for aspect oriented programming.
