Proposta de Utilização do Diagrama de Seqüência para Definição de Casos de Teste de Unidade

Abstract

The step of software testing has been increasingly relevant in the software development process, directly impacting on the quality of the product. Among the tests applied in the software, it appears that the unit test does not present an artifact aligned with the standard adopted for specification of software (UML). In this sense, it presents a proposal for using the sequence diagram of how to define artifact of test cases, specifically geared to unit test, making the planning of tests regardless of programming language, expanding the possibilities for using the artifact. The suitability of the proposed diagram is demonstrated by using a tool that allows the generation of code to run on JUnit framework.
