Enumerating message paths for interaction testing of object-oriented systems

MM path is integration artifact of object-oriented systems and is characterized by interleaved sequence of messages and method execution paths. In the context of UML sequence diagrams, an MM path is usually found common in many message paths and concatenation of one MM path with different MM paths results in distinct message paths. Adequate testing of all message paths in UML sequence diagrams implies the coverage of all possible concatenation of constituent MM paths in different object-states, which may not be fully achieved in practical situations. With limited test effort, practitioners are compelled to consider a subset of all message paths in ad-hoc manner or priority basis. It can be possible that the selected paths may not include at least one instance of highly critical MM path, whereas less critical MM paths may have been included with multiple instances. It is, therefore, necessary that the selected message paths would contain one instance of all MM paths and their additional instances as per their priorities. To address this problem, we propose two coverage criteria: all MM paths and prioritized MM paths and an MM path-based coverage model. To obtain such coverage model, we build a graph model called as sequence integration graph from the sequence diagram and thereafter, synthesize MM paths to merge them into a set of connected trees. Further, we capture priority information of the MM paths by means of edge weights and order of concatenation among the MM paths by means of connector edges between the trees. These information captured in the MM coverage model helps to determine effective coverage of the MM paths. Our experimental results substantiate usefulness of our MM path-based coverage model for selecting message paths to satisfy all MM paths and prioritized MM paths coverage criteria in the context of integration testing of object-oriented systems with the limited testing effort.

Timing consistency checking for UML/MARTE behavioral models

UML/MARTE model-driven development approaches are gaining attention in developing real-time embedded software (RTES). UML behavioral models with MARTE annotations are used to describe timing behaviors and timing characteristics of RTES. Particularly, state machine, sequence, and timing diagrams with MARTE annotations are appropriate to understand and analyze timing behaviors of RTES. However, to guarantee software correctness and safety, timing inconsistencies in UML/MARTE should be identified in the design phase of RTES. UML/MARTE timing inconsistencies are related to modeling errors and can be hazards throughout the lifecycle of RTES. We propose a systematic approach to check timing consistency of state machine, sequence, and timing diagrams with MARTE annotations for RTES. First, we present how state machine, sequence, and timing diagrams with MARTE annotations specify the behaviors of RTES. To overcome informal semantics of UML/MARTE models, we provide formal definitions of state machine, sequence, and timing diagrams with MARTE annotations. Second, we present the timing consistency checking approach that consists of a rule-based and a model checking-based timing consistency checking. In the rule-based timing consistency checking, we validate well formedness of UML/MARTE behavioral models in timing aspects. In the model checking-based timing consistency checking, we verify whether timing behaviors of sequence and timing diagrams with MARTE annotations are consistent with the timing behaviors of state machine diagrams with MARTE annotations. We support an automated timing consistency checking tool UML/MARTE timing Consistency Analyzer for a seamless approach. We demonstrate the effectiveness and the practicality of the proposed approach by two case studies using cruise control system software and guidance and control unit software.     

System testing for object‐oriented systems with test case prioritization

This paper presents an approach to generate test cases from UML 2.0 sequence diagrams and subsequently prioritize those test cases using model information encapsulated in the sequence diagrams. The test cases generated according to the proposed approach satisfy the scenario coverage criterion and are suitable for system‐level testing. For prioritizing test cases, three different prioritization metrics are proposed. The values of these prioritization metrics can be analytically computed from the model information only. This paper also presents an approach to generate test data using a concept called rule‐based matrix. The prioritization metrics are used to control the number of test data without compromising the test adequacy. The effectiveness of the proposed approach has been verified using two industrial designs. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Modeling and validating Mondex scenarios described in UML and OCL with USE

This paper describes the Mondex case study with UML class diagrams and restricting OCL constraints. The constraints have been formulated either as OCL class invariants or as OCL pre- and postconditions. The proposed two models include UML class diagrams and OCL constraints which have been checked by the UML and OCL tool USE (UML-based Specification Environment). USE allows validation of a model by testing it with scenarios. The Mondex case study has been validated by positive and negative test cases. The test cases allow the validity of the various constraints to be traced and checked. Validation results are presented as textual protocols or as UML sequence diagrams where starting, intermediate, and resulting system states are represented by UML object diagrams. UML sequence diagrams, UML object diagrams, and textual protocols are shown with varying degrees of detail for the attributes, constraints, and executed commands. J. C. P. Woodcock
