Abstract

Majority of the software development cost is incurred in software testing. Most often, the testing of the software is carried out after the code has been prepared and the test cases are obtained from the code. This approach may work well but shall not guarantee that all the requirements are incorporated in the code and that each of the critical paths has been tested. In early phases of software development, decision table is used for test case generation for functional testing. This paper proposed a technique for automated test case optimization generated through decision table. In this paper a framework for test case generation from decision table generated form SRS, and an algorithm for decision table optimization, has been proposed.
