Abstract
The mobile phone market has become even more competitive, demanding high quality standards. In this context, applications are built as sets of functionalities, called features. Such features are combined in use scenarios of the application. Due to the fact that the features are usually developed in isolation, the tests of their interactions in such scenarios are compromised. In this paper, we present a proposal of specifying feature interaction requirements with use cases; generating a behavioral model from such specification; and a strategy for generating test cases from the behavioral model that aims to extract feature interaction scenarios in such a way that interactions can be tested.

Generation of test requirements from aspectual use cases
WTAOP '07: Proceedings of the 3rd workshop on Testing aspect-oriented programsTo effectively uncover aspect defects, system (or subsystem) testing is of importance because aspects crosscut multiple system components. This paper presents an approach for generating system test requirements from aspect-oriented use cases. Central to ...
Generating combinatorial test suite for interaction relationship
SOQUA '07: Fourth international workshop on Software quality assurance: in conjunction with the 6th ESEC/FSE joint meetingCombinatorial testing could detect the faults triggered by the interactions among factors in software. But in many cases, the pair-wise, N-way and even the variable strength combinatorial testing may lead test suite redundancy and fault detect ability ...
A Static Approach to Prioritizing JUnit Test Cases
Test case prioritization is used in regression testing to schedule the execution order of test cases so as to expose faults earlier in testing. Over the past few years, many test case prioritization techniques have been proposed in the literature. Most ...
