A Specification-Based Test Case Generation Method for UML/OCL
نویسندگان
چکیده
Automated test data generation is an important method for the verification and validation of UML/OCL specifications. In this paper, we present an extension of DNF-based test case generation methods to class models and recursive query operations on them. A key feature of our approach is an implicit representation of object graphs avoiding a representation based on object-id’s; thus, our approach avoids the generation of isomorphic object graphs by using a concise and still human-readable symbolic representation.

A Methodology and a Framework for Model-Based Testing
In this paper we will present a survey on the test case generation process and tools we are currently developing. It will reflect the new ideas that we’re pursuing while keeping in mind our previous work on formal specification languages and theory of test case generation. The model based test case generation method we propose is based on a subset of the Unified Modelling Language (UML) and the...

Test automation is one of the major areas in software engineering. Test automation can reduce the high cost of software development and at the same time increases the reliability of the testing process. In this paper we present a novel specification based framework for automating test process based on use case scenarios. It receives software specification that defined with UML at design level a...
متن کاملEvaluating and Debugging OCL Expressions in UML Models
This paper discusses the relationship between tests and proofs with focus on a tool for UML and OCL models. Tests are thought of as UML object diagrams and theorems or properties which are to be checked are represented as OCL constraints, i.e., class invariants or operation preand postconditions. The paper shows for the UML and OCL tool USE (UML-based Specification Environment) how to trace and...
متن کاملChecking UML Model Consistency
UML is nowadays a de-facto standard for design and development of (object-oriented) software. With version 2.0 UML has achieved a more precise formal semantics. The same happened to OCL, a specification language which is an integral part of UML that allows to embed software contracts in the model. In this work we propose an approach for a static verification of consistency of UML models which r...
متن کاملAutomatic Test Case Generation from UML Models and OCL Expressions
In this paper, we discuss one approach of automated test case generation from UML models and OCL expressions. We show how to use UML and OCL to support several coverage criteria. We introduce our current prototype implementation, compare it to commercial tools, and sketch shortcomings and further development.
