摘要：Today statecharts are a de facto standard in industry for modeling system behavior. Test data generation isone of the key issues in software testing. This paper proposes an reduction approach to test data generationfor the state-based software testing. In this paper, first state transition graph is derived from state chartdiagram. Then, all the required information are extracted from the state chart diagram. Then, test casesare generated. Lastly, a set of test cases are minimized by calculating the node coverage for each test case.It is also determined that which test cases are covered by other test cases. The advantage of our testgeneration technique is that it optimizes test coverage by minimizing time and cost. The present test datageneration scheme generates test cases which satisfy transition path coverage criteria, path coveragecriteria and action coverage criteria. A case study on Railway Ticket Vending Machine (RTVM) has beenpresented to illustrate our approach
