Abstract
Class testing is considered as the sole of the object-oriented software testing. In class testing we test each method, test relations among methods and tests inherit properties between every class and subclass. In specification-based testing we are mainly concerned about generating test cases from the specifications of the class. We never bother about testing the whole class at a time. It is not easy to manage the process of testing the class and to unify the test cases conveniently and consistently. In this paper, we will work how to give a structure to the test cases of the methods of a particular class under test. As per the given class specification, we will define the test cases and test suites. The paper will help in drawing the test cases and their further testing. We are using a new notation Object –Z to draw the structure and class specification
