Automatic testing system based on process programming for telecommunication software

Abstract

It is necessary to improve the productivity of telecommunication software in order to provide new services quickly. This paper proposes an automatic testing system based on process programming to support the development of telecommunication software. This is achieved by using a process describing language to interpret the testing process that is formally described as a test scenario. By using automatic testing, the productivity can be improved, and the testing period can be reduced. Furthermore, by describing the testing process formally promotes process reuse.

A taxonomy for scenario use in requirements elicitation and analysis of software systems

“…Finally, scenarios are used by software testers in integration and acceptance testing of functionally structured or object-oriented based software [KGH95,TS93]. Often scenarios are directly translated into system test cases.…”
