Uso de Modelos da UML em Testes de Componentes
Abstract
A software component must be tested every time that is reused, to guarantee the quality of both the component itself and the system in which it is to be integrated. Since the source code of the components is generally not available for its users, we propose a method to generate test cases from an UML Activity Diagram that representing the component behavior. Path testing techniques are used to automatically derive test cases. In this paper we describe the method and show an example to illustrate it. A tool developed to support the approach is also briefly presented.
