| Description | Due to increasingly strict productivity and time-to-market constraints in industry, software product families (PF) are becoming one of the key challenges of software engineering. Product family models and methods aim at providing support for efficient reuse by making reuse an integral part of the development process. However, despite recent interest in this area, the extent to which the close relationship between PF and requirements engineering is exploited to guide the V&V (Validation and Verification) tasks is still limited. In particular, PF processes generally lack support for generating test cases from requirements. This is a difficult problem since test cases generated for different products from the same requirement may not be identical, due to interference from variants. In this article, we propose a requirements-based approach to functional testing of product lines, based on a formal test generation tool. We show how product-specific test cases can be automatically generated from functional requirements expressed in UML, even when the latter are common to a product family. We illustrate the use of the method and tool presented by means of a case study, and study the efficiency of the generated test cases.1 1 |
