Issues Descriptions

Harmonize illustration of property modifiers in the spec

  • Key: UMLTP24-6
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Fraunhofer FOKUS ( Mr. Marc-Florian Wendland)
  • Summary:

    The current document generation process used to produce the UTP 2 specs is limited with respect to the illustration of property/association end modifiers (i.e., unique, ordered, redefines, subsets, read-only, union). According to UML, those modifiers shall be illustrated after der name and type and multiplicity of a property. The following grammar rule (taken from UML 2.5, Clause 9.54) specifies the textual notation of properties:
    <property> ::= [<visibility>] [‘/’] <name> [‘:’ <prop-type>] [‘[‘ <multiplicity-range> ‘]’] [‘=’ <default>] [‘

    {‘<prop-modifier > [‘,’ <prop-modifier >]* ’}

    ’]

    In the UTP 2 document generation framework the illutration of modifiers was circumvented in a way that is is close to, but different to the notation prescribed by UML. Although, the aligned notation of UTP 2 is okay from a readers point of view, it appears that the modifiers have not been consistenly illustrated. See two examples from the spec:

    In section 8.3.2.7.17 TestDesignDirective , TestDesignDirective modifies are displayed before the name of the propery:

    {read-only, union} subDirective : TestDesignDirective [*]

    In section 8.4.2.5 TestConfigurationRole, modifiers are displayed after the name of the property:
    /roleConfiguration {read-only, union}

    : RoleConfiguration [*]

    Even though both ways are still good enough to comprehend, from an editorial point of view, one way should be preferred to other.

Schedule in Test Planning

  • Key: UMLTP24-5
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Lockheed Martin ( Ms. Annemarie Kibbe)
  • Summary:

    Test planning should incorporate schedule and budget. Should it have the equivalent of a Gantt chart? How do we incorporate a time phased approach and get that embedded into the standard? TestExecutionSchedule helps allude to schedule, but the spec would benefit from more thought on this.

Data Stereotype

  • Key: UMLTP24-4
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Lockheed Martin ( Ms. Annemarie Kibbe)
  • Summary:

    Is there a missing stereotype for instances of data ? In the conceptual section there is a mention of actual data pool which would be an instance specification of the data pool or data partition

UTP should incorporate concepts to speciy decision tables for allowing decision table testing

  • Key: UMLTP24-8
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Fraunhofer FOKUS ( Mr. Marc-Florian Wendland)
  • Summary:

    Decision table testing is a major and frequently used black-box test design technique. In system and acceptance testing as well as testing of business processes, decision table testing is used to identify the test conditions within business rules by representing these rules in a tabluar format.

    The Decision Modeling Notation (DMN) provides a MOF-based metamodel for modeling decision tables. Within the DMN, decition tables are an isolated part, well suited for being extracted as profile as part of UTP.

    Incorporating a decision table profile into UTP, inspired by the DMN MOF-based metamodel, would improve UTP in the area of business rule testing and make UTP more complete regarding specification-oriented test design techniques.

Generators for and Queries on Test Logs

  • Key: UMLTP24-7
  • Status: open  
  • Source: KnowGravity Inc. ( Mr. Markus Schacher)
  • Summary:

    Curently, UTP2 supports capturing actual results of a Test Set or a Test Case execution via its Test Log capability. A TestLog is an instance of a Test Log Structure that shall specify, what exacty is to be logged. However, the current UTP2 specification does not specify, how such a Test Log Structure is to be expressed. Furthermore, when one or more Test Logs have been instantiated (after executing some Test Sets or Test Cases), the tester may whish to extract only those parts of an existing (potentially huge) Test Log that are relevant to investigate a specific problem. This is not supported by the current UTP2 specification.

XMI files reference non-working URLs. Cannot import into tool.

  • Key: UMLTP24-1
  • Status: open   Implementation work Blocked
  • Source: JHU APL ( Trisha Radocaj)
  • Summary:

    The .xmi files for the UTP2 have links that do not work. Even when separately going to the OMG UML site and downloading the StandardProfile.xmi and the PrimitiveTypes.xmi, unable to load the utp2.xmi profile. Tool vendor (Cameo Systems Modeler)--they suggest that the problem is in the references in the profile. In the utp2.xmi import may be getting stuck on the UML.xmi "used project". It will not let me manually select the UML.xmi file as it says "NOT A USED PROJECT!" Many permutations of installation have been attempted. This is preventing effective use of the standard in its application of test to our system model.

  • Summary:

    Error when attempting to open UTP 2.1 Library and Types Library. The same error message is presented when opening either file

Data pool and data partitions

  • Status: open  
  • Source: Lockheed Martin ( Ms. Annemarie Kibbe)
  • Summary:

    Morphing should be between data pool and data partitions for a true structure morphing mapping from one format of data to another, look into other OMG specifications to bridge concepts

    DRTD04 contradicts the definition of the constraint
