Abstract

This paper presents a novel approach for prioritizing test scenarios generated from UML 2.0 activity graph using path complexity. Activity Diagram is used as it is available at an early stage of the software development life cycle allowing us to detect faults at early stages, hence reducing the overall time and effort required for testing. In the proposed approach, activity diagram is converted into control flow graph and then test scenarios are derived from it using basis path method. The methodology adopted for prioritizing test scenarios is based on path complexity using the concept of path length, information flow metric, predicate node and multiple condition coverage.
