| Abstract [eng] |
due to complex inter-service HTTP communication. The paper presents an approach for generating automated tests from UML 2.5 sequence diagrams in microservice-based systems. A rule-based transformation converts diagram message interactions into structured Gherkin scenarios, which become executable through a reusable step definitions library integrated into a behavior-driven development workflow. Prototype implementation was evaluated using a representative microservice project. Evaluation results, including code coverage and mutation testing, indicate that the generated tests can detect faults and validate the behavior of microservice-based systems, demonstrating the feasibility of deriving executable tests directly from design models. |
