From UML models to automatic generated tests for the dotLRN e-learning platform

This paper presents a method for testing an e-learning, web based system. System specifications are provided using the UML modelling language and specifically the Sequence, Activity and Class diagrams of UML. These specifications are exported in XMI format which is parsed in order to produce the test cases. The system under consideration in this paper is dotLRN, an open source enterprise-class suite of web applications and portal framework for supporting course management, online communities and collaboration.
