Functional Validation Driven by Automated Tests

The functional quality of any software system can be evaluated by how well it conforms to its functional requirements. These requirements are often described as use cases and are verified by functional tests that check whether the system under test (SUT) runs as specified. There is a need for software tools to make these tests less laborious and more economical to create, maintain and execute. This paper presents a fully automated process for the generation, execution, and analysis of functional tests based on use cases within software systems. A software tool called Fun Tester has been created to perform this process and detect any discrepancies from the SUT. Also while performing this process it generates conditions to cause failures which can be analyzed and fixed.
