Abstract

Regression testing is a crucial process that ensures that changes made to a system do not affect existing functionalities. However, there is currently no adequate technique for selecting test cases that consider changes in Unified Modeling Language (UML) activity flow graphs. This paper proposes a novel approach to regression testing of UML diagrams, focusing on healthcare management systems. We provide a formal definition of sequence and activity diagrams and their relationship and construct corresponding activity flow graphs, which are used to develop a regression testing algorithm. The proposed algorithm categorizes test cases into reusable, retestable, obsolete, and newly generated categories by comparing old and new versions of UML activity flow graphs. The methodology is evaluated using a custom-designed hospital management system website as the test case, and the results demonstrate a significant reduction in time and resources required for regression testing. Our study provides valuable insights into the application of UML diagrams and activity flow graphs in regression testing, making it an important contribution to software testing research.
