Automatic Test Cases Generation for Statechart Specifications from Semantics to Algorithm
This paper studies automatic test cases generation for Statechart specifications. Applying Tretmans’ approach to generate test cases from labeled transition systems, we provide a solid mathematical basis for conformance testing and automatic test case generation for Statechart specifications. In order to make the test cases generation process more simple and efficient, we propose observable sem...
متن کاملAutomated generation of high-integrity test suites from graphical specifications
There is a strong need to ensure that the software controlling safety–critical systems is of the highest possible integrity. Present approaches to achieving this integrity through Verification and Validation (V&V) are expensive and predominantly reliant on manual processes. Techniques that have been proposed to improve the V&V of safety–critical systems – formal methods, graphical specification...
متن کاملTest Generation using Model Checking
Testing in the software industry is, in general an ad hoc task. There are guidelines to follow but in most cases do not cover sufficient portions of the software product. Recent work has been done to automatically generate test cases such that designers are no longer responsible for designing the test cases but ensuring that the specification of the software is valid. These formal specification...
متن کاملAutomated Test Case Generation from IFAD VDM++ Specifications
Most of the current research on automatic generation of test cases from formal specifications has been directed towards non object-oriented formal specifications. While objectoriented paradigm is the most widely accepted methodology for software development, generation of test cases from object-oriented formal specifications is still a relatively unexplored area. In this paper, we present a nov...
متن کاملGA-based Automatic Test Data Generation for UML State Diagrams with Parallel Paths
Automatic test data generation from a software specification prepares test cases for software developers before their code development phase. Having test cases before coding, helps the developers to control their code to conform to the specification. In state-based specifications, paths from the initial state to the final state may be varied, this is called parallel paths. In order to generate ...
