FORMAL SEMANTIC FOR UCML
Abstract
UCML (Use Case Modeling Language) is the use case specification language proposed in our previous research. This language allows modeling use case in a model. Then, we can use this model as input to automatically generate functional test cases. In the previous research, we have proposed abstract syntax and graphics syntax for the language and proposed algorithms to generate automated test cases from the model in UCML. In this paper, we provide a syntax in the BNF standard and a formal semantic description for the UCML language.
