Test Path Optimization Algorithm based on UML Activity Diagram

Abstract

Software testing is an activity of finding defects during execution time for a program to get non-defect software. 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 the generation of test paths. The system focus on model based test path generation. The paper presents the time taken based on the simple and swim lanes activity diagrams, and the different concurrent activity diagrams according to the experimental results. The TPOA system is as an efficient test generation technique to get the highest test coverage by minimizing time.
