Abstract

Cause-Effect Graphing (CEG) is used to derive test cases from a given natural language specification to validate its corresponding implementation. This paper surveys some known drawbacks to CEG analysis and shows how these can be overcome. It also shows how the CEG technique can be used to derive discriminating customer-directed scenarios (use-cases) for validating requirements.
