From U2TP models to executable tests with TTCN-3 - An approach to model driven testing

Abstract

The approach towards system engineering according to Model-Driven Architectures (MDA) with code generation derived from model implies also an increased need for research on automation of the test generation process. This paper presents an approach to derive executable tests from UML 2.0 Testing Profile diagrams automatically. In particular, an approach to derive executable tests within the Testing and Test Control Notation (TTCN-3) is discussed. The transformation rules between the source U2TP meta-model to the target TTCN-3 meta-model are given. © IFIP 2005.
