“…Further tests are modeled in dependency charts and generated from the interdependencies between scenarios, which increases the testing effort. Kesserwan et al [10] outlines a method to reverse engineer legacy software tests to align with a model-driven testing methodology. The traditional test procedures are initially converted into the TTCN-3 language.…”

Executable test cases originate at the onset of testing as abstract requirements that represent system behavior. Their manual development is time-consuming, susceptible to errors, and expensive. Translating system requirements into behavioral models and then transforming them into a scripting language has the potential to automate their conversion into executable tests. Ideally, an effective testing process should start as early as possible, refine the use cases with ample details, and facilitate the creation of test cases.We propose a methodology that enables automation in converting functional requirements into executable test cases via model transformation. The proposed testing process starts with capturing system behavior in the form of visual use cases, using a domain-specific language, defining transformation rules, and ultimately transforming the use cases into executable tests.

“…Kesserwan et al [13] describe an approach to reverse engineer legacy software tests to a modeldriven testing methodology. The legacy test procedures are translated to the TTCN-3 (Testing and Test Control Notation) language and then abstracted to test cases in TDL (Test Description Language) format.…”

Organizations are highly dependent on their software in carrying out their daily activities. Unfortunately, the repeated changes that are applied to these systems make their evolution difficult. This evolution may be necessary to maintain the software, replace or upgrade it. In the case of complex and poorly documented legacy systems, modernization is the only feasible solution to achieving the evolution goals. The OMG (Object Management Group) consortium created the Architecture-Driven Modernization (ADM) initiative to cope with the challenges of modernization. This initiative proposes, among other things, modernization through model-driven engineering (MDE). In this context, the modernization of a legacy system, not developed in an MDE environment, begins with its migration towards this type of environment. This migration raises the problem of finding the models necessary for the use of MDE representing this system.In this paper, we present a new bimodal approach to ADM modernization by enabling automatic and interactive modes to discover a view of the implementation platform of a legacy object-oriented system. Also, we present the key ideas of the algorithms behind this discovery process. Finally, we describe our prototype tool that implements our approach. This tool has been validated on several systems written in C# and Java languages.

With regard to the increasing spread of information technology in the world, access to this technology is of great importance. Due to their competitive advantages, open source software are more popular than the close ones and they are more widely used, as well. Having an appropriate process for migrating, identifying and ranking activities to prepare and perform the migration design in the organization, prevents the failure of the performance in organizations. Today, there are lots of migration processes in review of literature and this will confuse the managers to choose the most appropriate process for their organization. This article studies the presented processes of migration to open source software in the world and by presenting novel factors. It also attempts to introduce an appropriate framework to select the most efficient process in migration to open source software. So that organizations do not have a concern to choose the best migration process and IT managers are able to select the appropriate process for their organizations quickly and with no confusion.
