Modeling And Research On Testing Method Based On UML Activity Diagram And Collaboration Diagram

Recently with the popularity of Object Oriented technology and with the request software test automation, the traditional Software testing methods are not adapt to the Object Oriented testing. The appearance of the Unified Modeling Language (UML), becomes the cogent impulsion of the Object Oriented technology, UML is a well defined, expressive, powerful, and universal model language. So testing based on UML has become an active topic.The software industry becomes more and more extensive in the national defense, national economy and social life and so on; the quality of software also seems to be more and more important. Software test is the prime and essential methods to promise accuracy and credibility of software. with the request software test automation, the current of test method can not suffice the request of software test. The development trend of software test is the test method based model, also the test method based the UML model. So this paper gives a test method based UML activity diagram model and Collaboration diagram model.The Object Oriented technology has many advantages, but the new characteristics from the Object Oriented technique bring new challenge for testing. After analysis the characteristics of UML, giving the advantages using the UML model to test; we also analysis many UML model diagrams, such as use case diagram, sequence diagram, Collaboration diagram and activity diagram. At the same time, we expatiate the key techniques of test based UML models, including test scenario, test script and test data. UML Tool has extensively applied to the software design and test, so we give the design and a achieve of the UML Tool. First we give the design method of the structure and function of system, then we expatiate the key techniques and create out the UML Tool. We also give the using examples of the UML Tool.According to the above analysis, we give the logic structure of the test method based UML activity diagram model and Collaboration diagram model. We take the debug tool as the test object with this kind of method in the meantime, After analysising the test environment, First we create the models of the debug tool ,such as use case diagram and activity diagram, then give the creating method of test scenario, test script, test case and test data. Finally we analysis the result.
