Thank you in advance. Take a look at a rescent issue of JOOP where they address some of the issues with testability of OO programs. The gist of the story is that one has to retest not only the all the stuff further down in the the hierarchy but also all of the stuff leading back to the root of the class inheritance hierarchy. This makes maintenance of OO programs much more tedious than conventional SW according to this article.
