An Analysis of Use Case Based Testing Approaches Based on a Defect Taxonomy
Timea Illes, Barbara Paech · 2007
Use cases are a well-established means for requirements elicitation and specification, Recently, several approaches have argued to take use cases also directly as the basis for testing. In this paper we analyze use case based testing approaches on the basis of a defect taxonomy. For this purpose, we propose a taxonomy classifying typical defects which need to be uncovered during system testing. Then, we survey current approaches to derive test cases from use cases and discuss their ability to reveal these defects.
