Abstract

Test case is used for a particular destination and prepared in a set of test inputs, conditions and expected results in order to test whether a feature is to meet a specific demand [1]. In industrial applications, the description of the test cases is usually in the form of documents, these documents are usually short of a standard format [2]. The other hand, for real time systems, the test case description is more complex. In our work, with the investigation research on the real-time system in industrial field, and the study of the related standard and literature, we extracted out the key elements of the real-time system, constructed the domain model for the important concepts, and then based on the Restricted test case modeling (RTCM) [3], we proposed a real-time test case description method, named as the Real-time Restricted test case modeling (RT-RTCM). RTCM is a test case modeling approach which contains a templates and a group of restriction rules. Based on this approach, we define three templates and proposed new restriction rules, which can support and standardize the description of the real-time test case, while through on the constraints of the natural language, it can also effectively reduce the ambiguity of the test case description. And based on the description method, we proposed an approach about the real-time test cases generation and choice, this method is a combination of the branch coverage criteria of the test flows, the boundary coverage criteria of the test data and the status coverage criteria of the system resource. And in the end of this paper, we modeled the single elevator system, to prove that RT-RTCM is easy to learn, use and understand, and can be an effective technique for real-time test cases modeling.
