Abstract:
oftware testing is an activity of finding defects
during execution time for a program so that nondefect
software can be got. Software testing plays a
vital role in developing software that is free from bugs
and defects. Manual test is a cost and time consuming
process although it may find many defects in a software
application. If the testing process could be automated,
the cost of developing software could be reduced
obviously within a minimum amount of time. The most
critical part of the testing process is generation of test
paths. The paper proposes an approach for automatic
Model-Based best test path generation. In this
approach, all possible test paths are directly generated
from XMI (XML Metadata Interchange)filebased on
the activity diagram and a test path from these
generated test paths is optimized. The proposed system
will reduce the processing time, and choose the best
test path without dependence on others.
