“…In [6], [7], and [8] test data is generated from UML specifications, in particular state diagrams. The authors of [9] present another automatic test case generation approach based on UML communication diagrams to target cluster level tests which can be used to describe a story similar to the ones in BDD.…”

Abstract-Nowadays, the design of software systems is pushed towards agile development practices. One of its most fundamental approaches is Test Driven Development (TDD). This procedure is based on test cases which are incrementally written prior to the implementation. Recently, Behavior Driven Development (BDD) has been introduced as an extension of TDD, in which natural language scenarios are the starting point for the test cases. This description offers a ubiquitous communication mean for both the software developers and stakeholders.Following the BDD methodology thoroughly, one would expect 100% code coverage, since code is only written to make the test cases pass. However, as we show in an empirical study this expectation is not valid in practice. It becomes even worse in the process of development, i.e. the coverage decreases over time. To close the coverage gap, we sketch an algorithm that generates BDD-style scenarios based on uncovered code.

“…If the schedule is open then it will transit to the open for enrollment state where a decision will be made regarding whether the student will be admitted into the college or department which they chose if it had empty seats or rejected if no empty seats were found. In both cases the system will end after doing the correct transitions [2].…”
