A UML-integrated Test Description Language for Component Testing
نویسندگان
چکیده
A mass market in reusable components demands a high level of component quality, testing being a crucial part of software quality assurance. For components modelled in UML there are significant advantages to using UML also for the test description language. Since we wish to describe tests of non-trivial temporal ordering properties, we define our test description language based around UML interaction diagrams, seeking inspiration from the work on conformance testing of telecom protocols. We aim at a fully integrated approach which can be captured in a UML component testing profile.

UML-Based Integration Testing for Component-Based Software
Component-based software engineering is increasingly being adopted for software development. Currently, components delivered by component providers only include specifications of the interfaces. This imposes significant difficulties on adequate testing of an integrated component-based system. Without source code, many testing techniques will not be applicable. UML, a modeling language, has been...
متن کاملTesting Distributed Component Based Systems Using UML/OCL
We present a pragmatic approach using formal methods to increase the quality of distributed component based systems: Based on UML class diagrams annotated with OCL constraints, code for runtime checking of components in J2EE/EJB is automatically generated. Thus, a UML–model for a component can be used in a black–box test for the component. Further we introduce different design patterns for EJBs...
متن کاملUML-based test specification for communication systems: a methodology for the use of MSC and IDL in testing
Nowadays, the complexity of modern telecommunication systems has increased significantly and the requirement for thorough and systematic testing is undisputed. The Testing and Test Control Notation (version 3) (TTCN-3) is an universal and standardised language for the specification and implementation of tests for communication systems. Many systems and in particular object-oriented systems are ...
متن کاملTesting UML Designs using Class, Sequence and Activity Diagrams
Testing is performed by different types of strategies. Generally testing is performed on code, but if the software can be tested in the earlier phases then most of the errors can be eliminated and can be stopped from propagating to next phase. The proposed work presents a novel design based testing approach that can fix errors in initial phase. To perform design based testing, we need a languag...
متن کاملThe UML 2.0 Testing Profile
Testing often accounts for more than 50% of the required effort during system development. However, testing is often not well integrated with other development phases. One reason for this is that designers, developers and testers all use different languages and tools, making it difficult to communicate with each other and to exchange documents. The UML 2.0 Testing Profile bridges the gap betwee...
