A Novel Model Based Testing (MBT) approach for Automatic Test Case Generation

Software testing is a domain of software engineering that deals with the validation and verification of software work products. This domain has gained a lot of importance after the advancement and realization of the concept of globalization. Software testing was done manually till last decade, however this paradigm has seen a shift from manual techniques to automatic process because of the increasing concern about software reliability and usability, cost incurred on software testing, scaling, performance and compatibility issues. We present an approach for automatic test case generation based on Model Based Testing (MBT) methodology. In this approach a UML model is created using a standard tool from the set of user scenarios and then based on this model automatic test case are generated by applying certain algorithms.
