Automated generation of test cases from logical specification of software requirements

摘要

The quality of the delivered software relies on rigorous testing performed. However, designing good test cases is a challenging task. The challenges are multi-fold and test-cases design is often delayed towards the end of implementation phase. In this paper, we propose an approach to automatically generate test cases from the logical form of requirements specifications during early phases of software development. Our approach is based on courteous logic representation of requirements. The Knowledge stored in the courteous logic predicates is used to automatically generate the test cases. We evaluate the effectiveness of our generated test-cases through case-studies.
