Testing Graphical User Interface Using Decision Based Sequence Diagrams

This paper presents a novel approach to generate and execute graphical user interfaces from decision based UML sequence diagrams .This has been designed especially for efficient user interfaces where with less generation and verification effort are required different types of decision tables and UML sequence diagrams. The decision based sequence diagrams test sets did better at revealing integration level faults than only sequence diagrams. The experiment showed that model-based testing can be used to systematically generate test data and indicates that decision based UML models can play better roles in testing. Decision based Sequence Diagrams helps in deriving a reasonably complete reference model usable in industrial contexts, which can then be used for automatically deriving the test cases from user interfaces without going through the lines of codes of a program. Here the paper concentrates on generation of test cases for integration-level testing based on UML interaction diagrams where sequence diagram is taken into consideration. In this approach, different User Interfaces are designed from different decision based interaction diagrams.
