A novel approach for automatic test sequence generation for java fork/join from activity diagram

Test sequence generation is considered as an important phase of testing. Test sequences can be generated either by using code or model. Test sequence generation can be automated to make testing easier. This paper presents an approach for automatic test sequence generation from UML activity diagram of the Java7 Fork/Join framework. The activity diagram is first converted to an XML file, which is then traversed to find test sequences. Infeasible test sequences are avoided in this approach. Cost and overheads involved are also very less.
