Waterfall and agile requirements-based model for automated test cases generation

Abstract
Requirements-based testing is a testing approach in which test cases are derived from requirements. Requirements represent the initial phase in software developments life cycle. Requirements are considered the basis of any software project. Therefore, any ambiguity in natural language requirements leads to major errors in the coming phases. Moreover, poorly defined requirements may cause software project failure. There exist many software development models as waterfall model, agile model, etc. In this paper, we propose a novel automated approach to generate test cases from requirements. Requirements can be gathered from different models either waterfall model (functional and non-functional) or agile model. SRS documents, non-functional requirements and user stories are parsed and used by the proposed approach to generate test cases in which requirements with different types are covered. The proposed approach uses text mining and symbolic execution methodology for test data generation and validation, where a knowledge base is developed for multi-disciplinary domains.
