Deriving tests from UML 2.0 sequence diagrams with neg and assert

Abstract

In this paper we define an algorithm for deriving tests from UML 2.0 sequence diagrams based on the operational semantics for sequence diagrams defined in [13]. The algorithm is a modifiedand adapted version of the algorithm presented in [19, 20]. This modified algorithm is based on the standard semantic model of sequence diagrams and allows diagrams to contain the operators neg and assert. The derived tests are themselves sequence diagrams.
