UML Interactions represent one of the three UML behaviors. They describe the interwork of parts of a system based on message exchange. UML Interactions can reside on any level of abstraction and they seem sufficiently elaborated for high-level specifications used for sketching the communication among parts of a system. The UML Interactions metamodel, however, reveals some deficiencies for precise...
Executable specifications for UML currently comprise fUML, precise semantics of composite structures and in future precise semantics for state machines. An executable semantics for UML Interactions is on the roadmap, but has not been addressed by the OMG Executable UML working group so far. Interactions are said to be the second most used diagrams after class diagram of UML, thanks to their comprehensibility...
While Service Oriented Architectures (SOAs) are for many parts deployed online, and today often in a cloud, the testing of the systems still happens mostly locally. In this paper, we want to present the MIDAS Testing as a Service (TaaS), a cloud platform for the testing of SOAs. We focus on the testing of whole SOA orchestrations, a complex task due to the number of potential service interactions...
The increasing complexity of software-intensive systems raises a lot of challenges demanding new techniques for ensuring their overall quality. The risk of not meeting the expected level of quality has negative impact on business, customers, environment and people, especially in the context of safety/security-critical systems. The importance of risk assessment, analysis and management has been well...
Automated test design is an approach to test design in which automata are utilized for generating test artifacts such as test cases and test data from a formal test basis, most often called test model. A test generator operates on such a test model to meet a certain test coverage goal. In the plethora of the approaches, tools and standards for model-based test design, the test design techniques to...
Requirements engineering is vital for a software development project's success or failure. As today's software systems are getting more and more complex, their related requirements specifications contain often hundreds, even thousands of natural language requirements. The so called behavior engineering developed by Geoff Dromey is suitable to handle the complexity of large-scale software requirements...
In this paper we present an approach of using model-driven technologies for testing of service component interactions. We report on an industrial experiment with a novel combination of existing UML standards, i.e., the UML Testing Profile (U2TP), in conjunction with proprietary domain specific languages (DSLs). Many model-based testing (MBT) approaches use the UML 2 standard, but very few of them...
Since software systems become more and more complex, the efforts for developing, documenting and executing meaningful test cases increases. Testing is a vital, but time- and resource-consuming activity. To avoid running out of time or budget, new test methodologies had to be established in order to increase reliable, yet maintainable test scenarios. In the last years the Model-Driven idea matures...
