Scenario-Based Approach to Systematically Derive Test Cases for Systems

Abstract

Software testing is crucial to ensure the accuracy of systems in all types of applications. Effective test case generation methods are essential to improve the quality of a system that meets its specifications. One widely used method for generating test cases is the scenario-based approach, which relies on user requirements. However, this approach faces numerous challenges, including non-systematic test case generation, lack of proper test coverage criteria, and testing of non-functional requirements. To overcome some of these challenges, this paper proposes a systematic process for generating test cases that optimizes coverage and hence reduces the time complexity of the generation process. Our aim is to improve the scenario-based test case generation process used to test the quality attributes (QAs) of a system under test.
