Copyright Rational Software 2001 Generating Test Cases From Use Cases by Jim Heumann Requirements Management Evangelist Rational Software In many organizations, software testing accounts for 30 to 50 percent of software development costs. Yet most people believe that software is not well tested before it is delivered. That contradiction is rooted in two clear facts: First, testing software is a very difficult proposition; and second, testing is typically done without a clear methodology. A widely-accepted tenet in the industry -- and an integral assumption in the Rational Unified Process (RUP ) -- is that it is better to start testing as early in the software development process as possible. Delaying the start of testing activities until all development is done is a high-risk way to proceed. If significant bugs are found at that stage (and they usually are), then schedules often slip. Haphazard methods of designing, organizing, and implementing testing activities and artifacts also frequently lead to less-than-adequate test coverage.
