| In this research, we investigate the use of UML analysis and design models to perform impact analysis and regression test selection. We propose a model to extract the information from the UML models and present a host of algorithms to manipulate these models. We developed a Regression Test Selection Tool based on the proposed models and algorithms. The tool loads, stores and compares the UML models and then classifies the different test cases in the regression test suite. The tool is designed to handle Object Oriented issues such as inheritance and polymorphism and collects many useful statistics for the impact analysis process. Finally, a real industrial system has been used to perform comprehensive testing of the developed tool. |
