Abstract: Effective and efficient testing of complex component-based software systems is difficult. Unit test cases that test isolated components are focused and efficient but ineffective in detecting integration faults. Integration test cases, on the other hand, are hard to develop and maintain. With the UTBI meta-model and InterACt, a concept and tool implementation was developed to extract expectations towards other components from unit test cases and reuse unit tests to automate the verification of those expectations. However, the approach is limited to request-response interactions implicitly defined by mock interactions. This paper presents an extension to specify and verify expectations toward unidirectional interactions not encoded in the unit test cases. For example, if the recipient of the reaction to an interaction stimulus is not the same component that sent the stimulus in the first place.
