Viewpoint-Based Test Requirement Analaysis Modeling

As there is no perfect software requirement specification practically, software testing needs test requirement analysis called TRA. TRA is one of the most important activities. In TRA, test requirement model is constructed and mainly consists of test conditions. In this research we assume that TRA engineers may implicitly omit necessary test conditions if they construct test requirement models not based on potential test conditions, but based on actual test conditions. This paper proposes a concept of test viewpoints as potential test conditions and a notation of test requirement modeling to reduce omission of test conditions in TRA. We also show an experiment that a test requirement model based on test viewpoint can reduce omission of test conditions.
