Proposal of Testing Diagrams for Visualizing Test Cases

A software system becomes a large scale in recent years. As a result, test cases used in software testing have become a large scale. It is difficult to understand where the software system is tested by a large quantity of test cases. For this reason, testing diagrams to visualize test cases are proposed. To generate the testing diagrams, the test case and UML (Unified Modeling Language) diagram are compared and their common information is added to the UML diagram. This paper uses communication diagram and state machine diagram. Generating the testing diagrams can overlook the whole test cases. As a result, we can easily understand where the software system is tested by test cases. Moreover, the testing diagrams support that you find faults in the test cases and/or UML diagrams.
