Model-Driven Testing Using the UML Testing Profile |
|
|
Description
Model-driven development has become the
most important new paradigm in software development and has already
demonstrated considerable impact in reducing time to market and
improving product quality. However, the development of high-quality
systems not only requires systematic development processes but also
systematic test processes.
This book is about systematic,
model-driven test processes in the context of UML. As UML provides only
limited means for the design and development of test artifacts, a
consortium was formed by the Object Management Group (OMG) to develop a
UML profile for model-driven testing the UML Testing Profile (UTP),
an official OMG standard since 2005.
Written by the original
members of this standardization group, this book shows you how to use
UML to test complex software systems. The authors introduce UTP
step-by-step, using a case study that illustrates how UTP can be used
for test modeling and test specification. Youll learn how UTP concepts
can be used for functional and non-functional testing, with example
applications and best practices for user-interfaces and service
oriented architectures. In addition, the authors demonstrate how to
apply UTP using frameworks like TTCN-3 and the JUnit test framework for
Java.
This book is the definitive reference for the only
UML-based test specification language, written by the creators of that
language. It is supported by an Internet site that provides information
on the latest tools and uses of the profile.
