UML 2.0 testing profile

The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a visual language to support the design and development of complex object-oriented systems [RJB99]. While UML models focus primarily on the definition of system structure and behavior, they provide only limited means for describing test objectives and test procedures. In 2001, a consortium was built by the Object Management Group (OMG) in order to develop a UML 2.0 profile for the testing domain [OMG02, UMLa].
