METHOD AND TOOL FOR AUTOMATING INTEGRATED SOFTWARE TEST

摘要

PURPOSE: A method and tool for automating an integrated software test are provided to automatically generate the test data based on an interaction between the tasks described by a message sequence chart and to automatically execute the generated test data. CONSTITUTION: The interaction between the tasks of an embedded software is described by using the message sequence chart. The transition between a system state and a message sequence state obtained by the execution of the message sequence charts is converted into a GFSM(Global Finite State Machine)(s102). A test sequence to visit all states and transitions of the system is generated from the generated GFSM(s104). The generated test sequence is executed by using a test driver realizing on a simulator of the embedded software(s106). In order to examine a test result, a native test driver and a Java test driver are monitored(s108).
