More and more projects use Java as an object-oriented implementation language. Often there is already knowledge of C++ and because of the syntactical similarity of the programming languages migration seems to be simple. Sometimes this is not the case due to important conceptual differences between C++ and Java. Selected problems show the implications for program analysis, understanding and testing. Early detection of problems is desirable, so the paper provides a checklist for the test managers.
