| Abstract [eng] |
Manual test cases remain an important part of software testing, but their creation is often time-consuming and requires significant effort. In this paper, we propose a method for generating manual test cases based on UML use case diagrams and their specifications. The approach uses structured information from use case specification tables, w hich a re created b ased o n a n a dapted V olere t emplate, a nd a llows the u ser to participate in the generation process by selecting relevant test scenarios. A test case generation tool implementing the proposed method was developed using Python. The tool performs an initial analysis of the uploaded specification, identifies use cases, and generates test cases according to predefined rules. Evaluation results demonstrate that the proposed approach can successfully generate structured test cases from UML use case specifications and thus support the software testing process. |
