Test case generation for real-time system software using specification diagram

Abstract

Software testing of the real-time system (RTS) software based on specification diagram has a necessary sequence of parallel events for generation of test cases. In the model-based test case generation for RTS both automated and manual is limited in techniques as some situations inadvertently forget the simulation events. Many meta-heuristic techniques have solved the problem in RTS test cases generation. However, the technique seems to have much more focus on the optimum solution. This paper presents a methodology based on timed input-output event of specification diagram that supports a wide range of possible test cases for RTS application software. The proposed method applies for automated test case generation tool aims at validating the executable code and covers the systems behaviours in an optimized manner. The methodology is tested with three different RTS software such as client-server based real-time transaction, embedded based real-time sequence and sensor based real-time events. This proposed approach, based on the executable test cases, dynamically increases the productivity of the real-time systems.
