An Approach for Test Case Generation Using UML State chart Diagram

Abstract

Software testing accounts for consumption of the largest chunk of life cycle resources. Within the software testing test case generation is a paramount step. In this paper, we propose an approach to generate the test cases using UML state chart diagrams. Firstly, state chart diagram is transformed into a labeled graph which in turn is transformed into what has been called an intermediate testable model – a representation suitable for deriving system level test cases.

Keywords: Software testing, State chart diagrams, Labeled graph, Intermediate testable model, test cases.
