An UML Statechart Diagram-Based MM-Path Generation Approach for Object-Oriented Integration Testing
نویسندگان
چکیده
MM-Path, an acronym for Method/Message Path, describes the dynamic interactions between methods in object-oriented systems. This paper discusses the classifications of MM-Path, based on the characteristics of object-oriented software. We categorize it according to the generation reasons, the effect scope and the composition of MM-Path. A formalized representation of MM-Path is also proposed, which has considered the influence of state on response method sequences of messages. .Moreover, an automatic MM-Path generation approach based on UML Statechart diagram has been presented, and the difficulties in identifying and generating MM-Path can be solved. . As a result, it provides a solid foundation for further research on test cases generation based on MM-Path. Keywords—MM-Path, Message Sequence, Object-Oriented Integration Testing, Response Method Sequence, UML Statechart Diagram.

Automating the Testing of Object Behaviour: A Statechart-Driven Approach
The evolution of current modeling specifications gives rise to the problem of generating automated test cases from a variety of application tools. Past endeavours on behavioural testing of UML statecharts have not systematically leveraged the potential of existing graph theory for testing of objects. Therefore there exists a need for a simple, tool-independent, and effective method for automati...
متن کاملAutomated Object’s Statechart Generation and Testing from Class Method Contracts
The link between an object’s class specifications and UML statechart is rather informal and poses consistency issues during software evolution. We address this issue by proposing a connection between class diagram and statechart in a lock-step fashion, which leads to a coherent design for better development, testing, and maintenance of the software system. In this paper, we describe an approach...
متن کاملCode Generation from Uml Statecharts
The Unified Modeling Language (UML) statechart diagram is a powerful tool for specifying the dynamic behavior of reactive objects. Generating code from statechart diagrams is a challenging task due to its dynamic nature and because many of the statechart concepts are not supported by the object oriented programming languages. Most of the approaches for implementing UML statecharts diagram eithe...
متن کاملAn Object-Oriented Approach To Generate Java Code From UML Statecharts
The Unified Modeling Language (UML) statechart diagram is used for modeling the dynamic behavior of a system. This paper describes an object-oriented (OO) approach to generate compact and efficient Java code from UML statechart diagrams. The states are represented as objects and all the behavior associated with a state is contained in one object. This localizes the state-specific behavior and p...
متن کاملMapping UML statecharts to java code
The Unified Modeling Language (UML) statechart diagram is used for modeling the dynamic aspects of systems. The UML statechart diagrams include many concepts that are not present in most popular programming languages, like Java or C++. There exists a gap between high level modeling language and a programming language. There is not a one-to-one mapping between a statechart and its implementation...
