A Business Process Testing Sequence Generation Approach Based on Test Cases Composition

摘要

This paper proposes a business process testing scenario generation based on test cases composition. Just like path oriented testing technique in structure testing area, this testing method focuses on finding the logical error in the process implementation according to the formal business process presentation. The test cases against a node of process designed by the techniques such as boundary value analysis, equivalence partitioning and so on, may not easily find the errors in the special business process tends. These test cases are modeled as TCN (Test Cases Nets) with a CPN (Colored Petri Nets) in this paper. The BPSN (Business Process Scenario Net) is built by composing the existing TCN. The generation technique of the test scenario for basis path testing for a business process according to the BPSN is discussed. We exemplify our approach in an ATM system that has a rich set of interactions with its users.
