Automating component-based testing from UML models
Bryan Che · 2000
Software components such as EJB’s or COM objects may be tested in an automated fashion with the help of UML models. First, these objects should be modeled in UML, using certain extensions and modeling conventions. Then, an automated software-testing program can read the UML diagrams and generate testing scripts which drive the components appropriately. EJBTest is such a program which can read UML diagrams of EJB’s and generate the appropriate Java code for testing those EJB’s. The generated scripts can successfully test the EJB’s for functionality and also perform database verification. Thesis Supervisor: Daniel Jackson Title: Associate Professor, MIT
