UML diagrams are completely necessary for the creation of the test cases. That is because every message of the represents an action that will be carried on in the test (click or type, for instance).

In the next paragraphs, it is explained how can an UML diagram be created:

When logged in the tool, the user can see a menu in the left side (see First steps in TAST for further info), in this menu the user will click on the button “Modeling”. After this, there will open a window where the user will select the domain and project where the test case will be included in.

NOTE: the projects and domains need to be created before the creation of the test case and, also, the used needs to be assigned to the domain and project. Otherwise, the user will not be able to see neither the project-domain, nor the test cases that might have already been created.

For more info about the creation of the Domain and user, please check Domains and Projects page.

Once in the Modeling page, the user can proceed in three ways:

• Selecting and modifying one of the test cases already created.
• Creating a new test case.
• Importing a test case created with any other UML Design tool.

If the user chooses to modify an existing UML diagram (left side of the upper screenshot), there will be 3 different colors for the test cases: green for the cases where the mapping has been completed and validated, red for the cases where the mapping has not been done, and grey for the cases that are empty.

When choosing to create a new UML diagram, it is needed to click on “New” button. After this, a new window will open as shown in the right picture. In it, can be selected:

• Domain: This is the domain which the test case will belong to
• Project: Select the project where the test case will be linked to
• Folder: folder of the system where the test case will be stored
• Diagram name
• Diagram description
• Use diagram template
• Copy validation mapping
• Visibility as a template:
  • Public
  • Domain
  • Project
  • Private
  • None
