Generating interaction test cases for mobile phone systems from use case specifications

Abstract

The mobile phone market has become even more competitive, demanding high quality standards. In this context, applications are built as sets of functionalities, called features. Such features are combined in use scenarios of the application. Due to the fact that the features are usually developed in isolation, the tests of their interactions in such scenarios are compromised. In this paper, we present a proposal of specifying feature interaction requirements with use cases; generating a behavioral model from such specification; and a strategy for generating test cases from the behavioral model that aims to extract feature interaction scenarios in such a way that interactions can be tested.
