Abstract

We present MCP, a tool for automatically generating executable security test cases from misuse case specifications in natural language (i.e., use case specifications capturing the behavior of malicious users). MCP relies on Natural Language Processing (NLP), a restricted form of misuse case specifications, and a test driver API implementing basic utility functions for security testing. NLP is used to identify the activities performed by the malicious user and the control flow of misuse case specifications. MCP matches the malicious user's activities to the methods of the provided test driver API in order to generate executable security test cases that perform the activities described in the misuse case specifications. MCP has been successfully evaluated on an industrial case study.
