Geração de casos de teste funcional para aplicações de celulares.

Abstract

In the mobile phone market, feature-based development has been considered for the applications construction. Features are developed and tested as an independent module. There is a lack for approaches directed to the feature test for mobile phone applications, with respect to notations more used in the industry, as UML, and possible of automation. The use of notations already used in the development process makes the test process less onerous, since it is not necessary to elaborate specific artifacts for test cases generation. The derivation from UML diagrams, more specifically sequence diagrams, and the application of effective selection techniques are of interest, but they are not fully adressed in this context yet. In this work, we propose a systematic procedure to generate functional test cases for features of mobile phones, as well as two strategies to test case selection. Tool suport has been developed to automate the activities of the systematic procedure and selection strategies. Two case studies were performed to demonstrate its application as well as the tool functionality. ii
