Abstract

An innovative approach of generating test cases from the combination of UML design diagrams has been discussed in this paper. Present work used an approach where petal files of class diagram, sequence diagram and state chart diagram has been used to generate test cases. The test cases thus generated are suitable for static and dynamic testing of system.
