Software testing is a part of software development
process. However, this part is the first one to miss by software
developers if there is a limited time to complete the project.
Software developers often finish their software construction
closed to the delivery time, they usually don¿t have enough time
to create effective test cases for testing their programs. Creating
test cases manually is a huge work for software developers in the
rush hours. A tool which automatically generates test cases and
test data can help the software developers to create test cases
from software designs/models in early stage of the software
development (before coding). Heuristic techniques can be applied
for creating quality test data. In this paper, a GA-based test data
generation technique has been proposed to generate test data
from UML state diagram, so that test data can be generated
before coding. The paper details the GA implementation to
generate sequences of triggers for UML state diagram as test
cases. The proposed algorithm has been demonstrated manually
for an example of a vending machine.
