“…They also proposed coupling-based analysis technique to test polymorphic interactions in paper [10], which used two concepts of 1970s: data abstraction of Parnas in 1972 [11] and coupling concept of Constantine and Yourdon [12] to understand the module interactions. [13] presented different forms of polymorphic interactions. They showed that its behavior was affected by distinct factors.…”

The paper proposes System Dependence Graph (SDG) based algorithm to select different test paths for testing polymorphic call-sites. SDG, includes control and data dependencies, helps both the testers and developers of object-oriented programs to better understand the polymorphic interactions within the software. In addition, the algorithm considers only the method bindings of a polymorphic call-site having different definition sets. As a result, the number of test paths for testing polymorphism gets reduced. Also, the algorithm has been implemented in a prototype Graphical User Interface (GUI) based tool. The results are obtained by using the tool, which demonstrate the proposed technique.

“…For classes and their methods whose behavior is specified in sequence diagrams and given the corresponding test case data sets, SeDiTeC can automatically generate test stubs thus enabling testing right from the beginning of the implementation phase. Supavita et al [33] describes an approach for testing polymorphic interactions, which are defined in UML sequence diagrams. This paper discusses several forms of polymorphic interactions and their factors along with guidelines for test design.…”

“…Supavita et al [33] shows the basic pattern and factors of different form of polymorphic interactions and also provides guidelines for test design. In our approach, we have not considered specific issues like polymorphic interactions or test generation for concurrent systems as discussed by Kim et al [20].…”

For automation of many software engineering tasks such as program analysis, testing, and coverage analysis, it is necessary to construct a control flow graph. With the advancement of UML, software practitioners advocate to construct control flow graph from some of the UML design artifacts. UML 2.x supports the modeling of control flow information in interaction diagram by means of message sequences and different types of fragments like alt, opt, break, loop, and so forth. Leading UML modeling tools, namely MagicDraw, IBM's Rational, and so forth export models in XMI format. Construction of control flow graph from the XMI representation of an interaction diagram is not straightforward as model elements of interaction diagram are captured in XMI by means of values of attributes of multiple tagged elements and correlations among these tagged elements is not explicitly specified. This paper proposes an approach for construction of control flow graph from XMI representation of UML 2.x interaction diagram. A prototype tool based on our approach has been developed which can be plugged in any computer-aided software engineering tool.
