Abstract Context: The Unified Modeling Language (UML) has become the de facto standard
for software modeling. UML models are often used to visualize, understand, and …

In areas such as military, security, aerospace, and disaster management, the need for
performance optimization and interoperability among heterogeneous systems is …

Both in the component-and object-based contexts it is extremely important to derive as early
as possible suitable test cases based on the UML specifications available during …

A new model based approach for automated generation of test cases in object oriented
systems has been presented. The test cases are derived by analyzing the dynamic behavior …

Abstract Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) present challenges to current model-based
software engineering methodologies such as Rational Unified Process (RUP). In this …

We present a novel methodology for test case generation based on UML sequence
diagrams. We create message dependence graphs (MDG) from UML sequence diagrams …

The paper first examines some issues that hinder the effective management of, and decision-
making on, quality software development process and products delivery by practitioners. It …

Software system should be reliable and available failing which huge losses may incur. To
achieve these objectives a thorough testing is required. Adequacy of test cases is the key to …

One vital aspect of software project management is the initial evaluation of project
proposals. Many authors have proposed varying sets of criteria for information technology …

Like in other fields, computer products (applications, hardware, etc.), before being marketed,
require some level of testing to verify whether they meet their design and functional …
