Abstract

A formal, yet user-friendly, test description language could increase the possibilities for automation in the testing phase while at the same time gaining widespread acceptance. Scenario languages are currently one of the most popular formats for describing interactions between possibly distributed components. The question of giving a solid formal basis to scenario languages such as MSC has also received a lot of attention. In this article, we discuss using one of the most widely-known scenario languages, UML sequence diagrams, as the basis for a formal test description language for use in the distributed system context.KeywordsSequence DiagramSystem Under TestObject Management GroupConcrete SyntaxEuropean Telecommunication Standard InstituteThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
