Ayan Nigam, Bhawna Nigam, Devendra Kumar Vatsa . Generating all Navigational Test Cases using Cyclomatic Complexity from Design Documents for Mobile Application. International Journal of Computer Applications. 40, 12 ( February 2012), 40-44. DOI=10.5120/5020-7354
Abstract
This is new mobile world; lots for even the simplest mobile application there can be many Navigational Paths. The challenge at Design phase is to identify all possible paths, generate code and validations for each one of them. Generating all possible test paths and test cases are difficult to achieve and need lot of manual efforts. In this paper we tried to generate possible navigational path using Design documents, so that Development and QA team get all the possible number of test cases in Design Phase itself. This will help to Estimate and analyze the actual project scope and timeline. QA Team save time as they do not have to generate paths manually and thereby reducing Navigational bugs getting detected and ensuring enhanced Path Coverage.
