A Survey on Test Case Generation using UML Diagrams and Feasibility Study to Generate Combinatorial Logic Oriented Test Cases

Generating test cases automatically from the design specification of a system is the most challenging phase in Software Development Life Cycle. UML diagrams are the industrial standard design modelling artifacts and the same can also be used for automatic generation of test cases which can be subsequently used by the testers to verify the functionality of the System under Test. In the present survey, authors have focused on automatic generation of test cases using UML Sequence and Activity diagrams. Also, the authors have conducted a feasibility study to know whether these diagrams can be made use of to generate combinatorial logic oriented test cases.
