Tool Support to Deriving Test Scenarios from UML Activity Diagrams

Abstract

Among attempts to extract test scenarios from UML activity diagrams (ADs), little work has focused on dealing with some more complex structures in UML ADs, such as exception handlers, expansion and interruptible activity regions. A novel testing approach proposed in this paper presents some improvements and extensions upon the previous work in the derivation of test scenarios (TSs) from ADs and makes the test scenarios generation more complete. The proposed way is fully automatable and supported by a prototype tool, thus providing a platform for reducing the gap between high level analysis and test.
