A Survey on Test Case Generation from UML Model

Testing is an important phase of software development, to maintain the quality control and reliability of the end products. Recent approach has been taken by the researcher to use UML models for test case generation. Various works has been done on test case generation for concurrent and nonconcurrent systems. In case of concurrent system group of activities are executed simultaneously where as in case of nonconcurrent system the activities are executed sequentially. Some of the work has also been done for generating test cases from combinational UML models. In this paper we have gone through a survey on test case generation from UML models. Our works focus on finding the existing process of test case generation from UML model/s for concurrent as well as nonconcurrent systems. This paper will make help to the researcher interested in the field of test case generation from UML model to find out what work has been done in their interested field. We have gone through 15 articles which have been published in the time span of 2005-2010. Keywords— Testing, TestCases, concurrent system, nonconcurrent system, UML Models.
