Towards an automated testing framework to manage variability using the UML Testing Profile

摘要

This paper proposes an extension to the UML testing profile to manage variability in testing artifacts for software product lines. The proposed extension has two main points: (i) Defining an extended architecture for the UML testing profile to deal with variability in the test models, and (ii) Defining the behavior to include variation points in the SPL. To this aim, this work focuses on the test case behaviour represented by sequence diagrams and defines an extension to UML interactions for SPL.
