Abstract :
We present a requirement-centered analysis and testing framework that integrates methods and tools for capturing and formalizing textual customer requirements, analyzing requirements consistency, generating test cases from formalized requirements and executing them on the implementation model. The framework preserves a fine grained traceability of informal and formal requirements, test cases and implementation models throughout every step of the workflow. We instantiate the framework with concrete tools that we integrate via a file repository and Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC). The standardized integration ensures that the framework remains generic -- any specific tool used in our instantiation can be replaced by another one with compatible functionality. We apply our framework on an industrial airbag control chip case study that we use to illustrate step-by-step our requirements-driven analysis and test methodology.
