Automating acceptance testing with tool support

During acceptance testing different areas of delivered software system are reviewed. Usually these are functionality, business domain logic, non-functional characteristics, user interface. Although they are related to the same particular functional area, they are verified separately. This paper presents the concept and the Requirements Driven Software Testing (ReDSeT) tool, which allows for automatic integrated test generation based on different types of requirements. Tests are expressed in newly introduced Test Specification Language (TSL). The basis for functional test generation are detailed use case models. Furthermore, by combining different types of requirements, relations between tests are created. The constructed tool acknowledges validity of the presented concept.
