基于UML的软件使用模型生成技术研究

Research on generating software usage model based on UML

软件可靠性测试是高可靠软件质量保证的重要过程,而软件使用模型则是进行软件可靠性测试的基础。UML(Unified Modeling Language)作为事实上的工业标准,在软件开发中得到了日益广泛的应用。研究基于UML的软件可靠性测试具有很强的现实意义。利用在软件开发早期阶段生成的UML模型,如用例图、顺序图、活动图,可以生成软件使用模型,进而可据此产生测试用例。

Software reliability testing is the important process of high-trust software's quality assurance. And software usage model is the foundation of software reliability testing. With more and more application to software development, UML has become industrial standard de facto. It is very meaningful to research software reliability testing based on UML. Software usage model can be derived from UML artifacts, such as usecase diagrams, sequence diagrams and activity diagrams, which have been generated during software development early stages. Then testcase can be gotten easily from it.
