Software testing is a vital part of the software development process and is costly. Due to the increased use of the unified modeling language and model driven architecture approach in systems analysis and design, model-based testing has been discussed as a prominent solution for software testing to reduce the cost of software testing. Prior researches proposed an integrated method which utilizes the artifacts from the Platform Independent Model (PIM) to construct the test path and constrained class tuples. These two can then be integrated to construct an Integrated Testing Model (ITM) for determining the test data and test cases for Model-Based Testing. This study develops a methodology which extracting the information from ITM to construct the test cases. The research methodology is articulated using the design science research methodology. A prototype embedded methodology has been developed to automatically generate the test cases. A usability evaluation is performed on the prototype to demonstrate its usability. With this methodology, the test cases can be generated automatically; thereby reducing the cost and enhancing the efficiency of Model-Based Testing.
