Abstract

Model-driven testing is a method to verify the requirement specification of the system through UML models. Cuckoo search (CS) algorithm is based on the brooding characteristics of cuckoo birds. The test case generation process is used to identify the test cases with resources with critical domain requirements. This proposed paper emphasizing on the generation and optimization of test cases or test data using cuckoo search technique through a case study, i.e., the withdrawal operation in a Bank ATM and it also describes the generation of test cases from UML behavioral diagram like activity diagram, possible test paths are also generated through activity diagram graph.
