Abstract:
Software testing is a challenging task, but frequently the time is wasted in interactions between development team and testing team due to simple errors related with the data structure and neither with the complex business rules. That highlights that it is very important to verify that the application can handle correctly the data structure and the data types, and for this we consider to generate test cases based on the data model. We are developing a framework to generate executable test cases from a data model, to test information systems that use databases. In this article, we will present the test case design approach, based on the data model, in order to verify the correctness of the application layers that manage it.
