Constructing Test Cases
Let us investigate how to identify and construct test cases for a class. First, we will look at how to identify test cases from a class specification expressed in OCL. Then we will look at test case construction from a state transition diagram.
Test cases are usually identified from the class specification, which can be expressed in a variety of ways. These include OCL, natural language, and/or state transition diagrams. Test cases can be identified from a class implementation, but using only that approach will propagate errors the class developer has made in interpreting the specification during implementation to the test software. We prefer to develop test cases initially from the specification and then augment them ...
