Abstract

Specification-based testing begins with the documentation of customers' requirements. This informal depiction of requirements needs to undergo formalization for effective test case generation to corroborate specification-based testing so as to catapult validation testing. In this paper, we discuss a credible approach for test suite generation by formalizing the informal requirements that further proves prolific in pioneering effective test case generation. The endeavor is directed towards testing software in the absence of source code.
