Testing

Introduction to Testing

Enterprise Architect enables you to create and manage test scripts for model elements, covering unit, integration, scenario, system and acceptance tests; this can include test cases generated from xUnit testing and Testpoint Management

You can import tests from other elements, generate them from scenarios, and generate test documentation and reports; you can also indicate the presence of tests on an element by displaying test information on the element in a diagram

Enterprise Architect enables you to attach arbitrarily complex tests to any model element; keeping the model elements and the testing documentation in one integrated model significantly improves the communication between the test-team and the software developers and architects

The detailed search facilities make it easy to find failing test cases, test cases not run and test cases that have been passed; using the testing and search capabilities, it is easy to navigate through the model and quickly locate problem spots, design flaws and other critical issues

Enterprise Architect is not only a UML Modeling environment, it is also a complete Test Management environment

Basic Tasks

Simple tasks that you might perform include:

• Open the Testing Workspace
• Use the Test Details dialog

Categories

Typically, you create:

• Unit tests for things that are being built, such as Classes and components
• Integration tests to test how components work together
• System tests to ensure the system meets business requirements
• Acceptance tests to test user satisfaction, and
• Scenario tests to test the end-to-end suitability and functionality of the application

Using Tests

Other tasks that you might perform when working with tests include:

• Import a scenario as a test
• Move or copy tests between test types
• Import a test from other elements
• Import a responsibility or constraint as a test
• Create a maintenance item from a test
• Generate a Test Details report
• Show test script compartments
• Create test documentation
