Test Case Generation For Concurrent Object-Oriented Systems Using Combinational Uml Models

. International Journal of Advanced Computer Science and Applications(IJACSA), (2012)

Abstract

Software testing is an important phase of software development to ensure the quality and reliability of the software. Due to some limitations of code based testing method, the researcher has been taken a new method to work upon UML model based testing. It is found that different UML model is having different coverage and capable of detecting different kinds of faults. Here we have taken combinational UML models to have better coverage and fault detection capability. Testing concurrent system is difficult task because due to concurrent interaction among the threads and the system results in test case explosion. In this paper we have presented an approach of generating test cases for concurrent systems using combinational UML models i.e. sequence diagram and activity diagram .Then a Sequence-Activity Graph (SAG) is constructed from these two diagrams. Then that graph is traversed to generate test cases which are able to minimize test case explosion.
