程序开发Model-Based Testing Tool
GraphWalker is a tool for generating offline and online test sequences from Finite State Machines and Extended Finite State Machines.
Why not go directly to the Demo!
Get in touch with other users on IRC. Use freenode.net, channel #graphwalker. There's a webclient.
The main features of GraphWalker are:
-
No UML
GraphWalker's own ruleset in conjunction with GraphML, is easier to get started with than UML. As testers, we do not need all functionality that UML has to offer. -
No exit/stop points
The idea behind this, is that we want long, unpredictable test sequences. We do not want to walk the same path every time we execute a test. We want variation, spiced with randomness. This will create a better 'test coverage' of the system under test.
The way to tell GraphWalker to stop generating test sequences are done by means of Stop Criterias, passed as arguments to the tool. -
Online
GraphWalker supports online test sequence generation. Using the online mode, the tool is capable of testing non-deterministic systems. In essence, this means that the path walked through the model is decided runtime, during the actual test execution. This is very helpful if your test execution tool needs to communicate with the model during the test. -
Jump between models
GraphWalker supports switching models when traversing them. This enables re-usage of models and implemented code. See model switching article. -
Event-driven
GraphWalker will support (from version 2.5.1-SNAPSHOT) the possibility to switch model caused by an event. For example, let's say we have a model that executes the navigation of the GUI of a mobile phone. At any point in that execution, an incoming call will be such an event that will switch from navigating the GUI, to a model that handles the call.
GraphWalker is to used to be at mbt.tigris.org. The source code is now at github.
