It provides various diagrams to depict system characteristics and complex environment from different viewpoints and different application layers. UML-based software development and modeling environments have been widely accepted in industry, including areas in which safety is an important issue such as spaceflight, defense, automobile, etc. To ensure and improve software quality becomes a main concern in the field. As one of the key techniques for software quality, software testing can effectively detect system faults. UML based software testing based is an important research direction in software engineering. The key to software testing is the generation of test cases. This dissertation studies an approach to generating test cases from UML statecharts.展开更多

The analysis framework is an incorporation of Bloom's taxonomy of educational objectives and Bachman's classification of language knowledge. It is found that the IELTS test exemplifies an assessment of test-takers' language knowledge and cognitive processes.展开更多
