Abstract

The UML 2.0 Test Profile (U2TP) is a UML extension which allows the specification, visualization and development of test artifacts for system verification and validation. However, the profile does not offer any feature which allows direct integration and description of test scenarios using fault injection, an efficient technique for testing fault tolerance mechanisms. This work proposes an extension of U2TP to allow the description of scenarios and elements required for using fault injection techniques on systems validation.
