Abstract: The overall goal of testing is to provide confidence in the correctness of a program. Testing of object oriented software presents challenges due to property bugs in well-written programs. Which will give a run time behavior of a program and property checking of a language especially object oriented programs like JAVA, C++, Small talk, Objective-C and precision to the developer about a software. Object oriented software development different from traditional development products. In this polymorphism, inheritance ,dynamic binding are the important features. An inheritance property is the main feature. Data flow testing is an appropriate testing method. This test analyzes structure of the software and gives the flow of property. This study is designed to detect the hidden errors with reference to the inheritance property. Set of classes and packages are analyzed and output are hierarchies of the classes, methods, attributes and a set of inheritance related bugs like naked access, spaghetti inheritance bugs are automatically detected by using this testing. The testing by 4 major analysis such function model, class model, variable model and interface model. It is a Static testing. In this study tool is created for JAVA programs.
