Abstract
With the rapid growth of network technology, two or more products from different vendors are integrated and interact with each other to perform a certain function in the latest systems. However, there are cases where products from different vendors or even from the same vendor often do not interoperate properly. Thus, interoperability testing is considered as an essential aspect for correctness of integrated systems. Interoperability testing tests the ability of software and hardware on different machines from different vendors to share data. Existing researches about interoperability testing are usually focused on an optimal test scenario generation applying graph and automata theory. Most of these researches model communication system behavior using EFSM(Extended Finite State Machines) and use EFSM as an input of test scenario generation algorithm. There are many studies on systematic and optimal test cast generation algorithms using EFSM, but in these researches, the study for generating EFSM model, which is a foundation of test scenario generation, is not sufficient. This paper proposes an EFSM generation technique, which is a foundation of test scenario generation for more complete interoperability testing based on use case specification. The generated EFSM through the proposed technique in this paper can be used as an input of EFSM-based test scenario generation algorithm proposed in other studies.
