Automatic Test Case Generation for UML Object diagrams using Genetic Algorithm

A new model based approach for automated generation of testcases in object oriented systems has been presented. The test casesare derived by analyzing the dynamic behavior of the objects due tointernal and external stimuli. The scope of the paper has beenlimited to the object diagrams taken from the Unified ModelingLanguage model of the system. Genetic Algorithm’s tree crossoverhas been proposed to bring out all possible test cases of a givenobject diagram. Illustrative case study has been presented toestablish the effectiveness of our methodology coupled with mutationanalysis
