Abstract—Software testing plays a vital role in developing
software that is freedom from bugs and defects. Manual test is a
cost and time consuming process although it may find many
defects in a software application. If the testing process could be
automated, the cost of developing software could be reduced
obviously. The most critical part of the testing process is
generation of test cases. Model based test path generation
approaches identify faults in the implementation at early design
phase, reduce the software development time, and inspire
developer to improve design quality. The proposed approach
focuses on Model Based testing for automatic best test path
generation. In this approach, the proposed system generates all
possible test paths and optimizes a test path from these paths.
The proposed system will reduce the processing time by using
XMI based activity diagram, validate the generated test paths
with Cyclomatic Complexity and choose the best test path
without dependence on others.
Index Terms—Model-based testing, test path, test path
generation, UML activity diagram.
