“…A majority of the proposed techniques use different forms of graphs as an intermediate form. Other intermediate forms used in the proposed techniques are labeled transition systems (LTSs), XML metadata interchange (XMI) format, sequence dependency tables, trees, activity diagrams, stimulus link tables (SLTs), and event deterministic finite automata (EDFA) …”

Model‐based test case generation techniques provide a mechanism to derive tests systematically. This study provides a systematic mapping of test case generation techniques based on UML interaction diagrams. The study compares the test case generation techniques regarding their capabilities and limitations, and it also assesses the reporting quality of the primary studies. We can conclude that the studies presenting test case generation techniques using UML interaction diagrams were not following the guidelines for research methods (eg, case studies or experiments). Solutions were not empirically evaluated in industrial contexts. Our study revealed that better tool support is needed to introduce the UML interaction diagram–based test case generation techniques in the industry.

The effectiveness of Model-Based Testing (MBT) is mainly due to the potential for automation it offers. If the model is formal and machine-readable, test cases can be derived automatically. The Extended Finite State Machine (EFSM) is a formal modeling technique widely used to represent a system. However, EFSM is not a common practice in industry. On the other hand, the Unified Modeling Language (UML) has become the de-facto standard for modeling software, but due to the lack of formal semantics, its diagrams can have ambiguous interpretations and are not suitable for testing automation. In this context, we present a systematic procedure for generating tests from a UML model. More specifically, our approach proposes a mapping from the UML Sequence Diagram into Extended Finite State Machine in order to provide a precise semantics to them and uses the ModelJUnit and JUnit libraries in order to generate test cases automatically.

Software testing is an important phase as it ensures the software quality. The software testing process comprises of three steps: generation, execution, and evaluation of test cases. Literature claims the usage of single and multiple 'Unified Modeling Language' (UML) diagrams to generate test cases. Using multiple UML diagrams increases test case coverage. However, the existing approaches show limitations in test case generation from UML diagrams. Therefore, in this research study, we propose an approach to generate the test cases using UML State Chart Diagram (SCD), Activity Diagram (AD), and Sequence Diagram (SD). The proposed approach transforms UML diagrams into intermediate forms: SCD Graph, AD Graph, and SD Graph respectively. Furthermore, by integrating these three graphs, a System Testing Graph (STG) is formed. Finally, test cases are identified from STG by using a traversal algorithm such as Depth First Search (DFS) that is an optimization method. The results show that the proposed approach is better compared to existing approaches in terms of coverage and performance. Moreover, the generated test cases have the ability to detect faults at the unit level, integration, and system level testing.
