Semiautomatic Test Case Generation Based on Sequence Diagrams

Abstract

This article describes a semiautomatic test case generation tool for Java classes based on UML sequence diagrams. Sequence diagrams are used to specify dynamic behaviors among objects. This tool is developed to facilitate the semiautomatic generation of test cases in integration testing level. This tool automatically generates a suite of test paths from sequence diagrams. Given an input data and the corresponding expected output data for each test path from the user, this tool automatically generates a Java method that executes the test path. This tool generates Java test classes for the JUnit framework.
