Tutorial number: 6
There is widespread agreement that finding defects as early in the development
life cycle as possible is cost-effective; however, there are few systematic
techniques for accomplishing this goal. Guided inspection is an inspection
technique that is "guided" by test cases. By using test cases, each guided
inspection is tailored to the semantics expected for that particular model.
By constructing a "complete" set of test cases, the guided inspection
technique identifies elements missing from the model as well as evaluating the
quality of those that are present. This tutorial will give attendees the tools they need to systematically inspect UML2.0 models and will help those using other design notations to create a process for their projects.
Guided Inspection has several benefits:
- Objectivity—By systematically selecting test cases, all portions of the
model can be given equal coverage.
- Traceability—Test cases link the faults detected back to the requirements
making them easier to correct.
- Testability—By creating test cases early in the process, problems
with the statement of the requirements or the design are identified while changes are less costly.
Beginner: Attendees should have a background in design and modeling using UML.
