Model-driven development has become the most important new paradigm in
software development and has already demonstrated considerable impact in
reducing time to market and improving product quality. This book is
about systematic, model-driven test processes in the context of UML. As
UML provides only limited means for the design and development of test
artifacts, a consortium was formed by the Object Management Group (OMG)
to develop a UML profile for model-driven testing - the UML Testing
Profile (UTP), an official OMG standard since 2005. Written by the
original members of this standardization group, this book shows how to
use UML to test complex software systems. The authors introduce UTP
step-by-step, using a case study that illustrates how UTP can be used
for test modeling and test specification. This book is the definitive
reference for the only UML-based test specification language, written by
the creators of that language. It is supported by an Internet site that
provides further information.
