Test case extraction process for validation of real time transactions in financial value added network for trusworthy customer's credit card

Abstract

In most Value Added Network (VAN) companies in Korea, real financial transactions are occurring on a consecutive real time serialization. But until now, it just validates their systems with checklists based on test expert's experience. We need better way for validating such consecutive real-time transaction system due to practical situations like the dynamic transaction chain across multiple financial networks or systems. In this paper, we suggest how to extract test cases for diverse practical situations. This proposed process generates a test case with a specific mechanism based on UML and Event/Condition/Action (ECA) rules. Through analyzing transactions on consecutive and real time transaction chains, we can effectively model UML diagrams with transactions, and map UML with ECA rules, which creates an ECA-decision table. A test scenario is generated with this table. That is, this approach can only generate test cases for the consecutive transaction chains. We applied these examples to validate real time transaction of Kovan Company, Ltd., a financial VAN company in Korea.
