Software testing is the last phase of the development cycle. The important role in software development is software Testing. In today's software industry, the design of software tests is mostly based on the tester's expertise, while test automation tools are limited to execution of preplanned tests only. Testing effort can be classified into three parts, they are test case generation, test execution and test evaluation. This paper presents a novel approach to generate the automated test paths. Due to the delay in the development of software, testing has to be done in a short time. This led to automation of testing because its efficiency and also requires less man power. In this proposed approach, by using one of the most standard Unified Modeling Language (UML) Activity Diagram, construct the Activity Dependency table(ADT), then generate the Test paths. Then the test path are prioritized by using the Tabu search algorithm. The prioritized test path can be used in system testing, regressing testing and integration testing. Then also form the Cyclomatic diagram to check the efficiency of the test scenario.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
