It has been recognized by many researchers that the notion of test architecture should be utilized for software testing to cope with the task of testing complicated software, as it can support test architecture design and test case generation based on test architecture as well as efficient fault detection and error locating. However, in the current software testing theory and practice, the notion of test architecture and how it can be utilized for software testing are not well understood. To redress this situation, this paper provides foundational concepts and principles of architecture-based software testing to help utilize test architecture for software testing. Case study experiments are conducted to show how the concepts and principles of architecture-based software testing work and the effects that can be obtained by using architecture-based software testing.
