In this paper, we present design philosophy and implementation issues of a functionality testing tool for object-oriented database systems. A testing tool has been developed to validate UniSQL/X functionalities with C++ interface. A testing tool is designed under consideration of scaleability, simplicity and extendibility. The schema is deliberately constructed to verify the object-oriented functionalities such as abstraction, inheritance and aggregation. Each test item has been derived under various black box techniques such as equivalent partitioning and boundary-value analysis. The testing tool consists of six phases, namely, database creation, database population, construction of testindex, compilation and link, execution and result reporting, and final cleanup. The prototype provides more than 140 test items at 90 programs.
