Abstract
An important challenge of reuse in object-oriented development is that objects or more generally components often cannot be plugged together directly due to interface mismatches. Consequently, automating the adaptation of software building blocks has been on the research agenda for quite a while. However, after various attempts based on (semi-)formal specifications, only recently, adaptation approaches based on test cases have demonstrated that practically useable implementations of this idea are feasible. This paper addresses the adaptation of arrays and collections in order to bring the associated challenges into the center of attention and to increase the applicability of existing test-based adaptation approaches.
