Abstract:With the wide application of computer software in medicine,spaceflight,finance and other fields,people proposed stricter requirements for the reliability of the software system.Software testing is an effective method to ensure the security and reliability of software,whereas the quality of test cases will directly influence the testing efficiency and cost.To solve black-box testing problems about embedded systems,a test case generation method based on PEFSM (Probabilistic Extended Finite State Machine) behavioral model was proposed.The applicable scenarios of this method are illuminated with two assumptions.The algorithms for converting and unwrapping RE (regular expression) are designed,and this method is applied to conduct black-box testing towards a smart television based on Android operating system.The features of this method are as follows:1)users' common operations on IUT (Implementation Under Test) can be tested preferentially by utilizing different frequencies of various operations.In this way,it is possible to reduce the number and length of the test cases.2)testers can specify the initial and final states of test cases.In addition,they can also set cyclic numbers of closures and the waiting time between transitions.Therefore,this method makes the testing flexible and applicable.The experimental results show that this method can not only reduce the software testing cost,but also improve the error-detecting efficiency of test cases.
