To identify and design the classes and packages that will provide the
needed test specific functionality.
Based on input from the test designer identify and specify test-specific classes
and packages in the design model.
A driver or stub of a design class has the same methods as the original class,
but there is no behavior defined for the methods other than to provide for input
(to the target for test) or returning a pre-defined value (to the target for
test).
A driver or stub of a design package contains simulated classes for the classes
that form the public interface of the original package.
Design Interface to Automated Test Tool
Purpose
To identify the interface necessary for the integration of an
automated test tool with test-specific functionality.
Identify what behavior is needed to make your test automation tool communicate
with your target for test in an efficient way. Identify and describe the appropriate
design classes and packages.
Design Test Procedure Behavior
Purpose
To automate test procedures for which there is no automated test tool
available.
To automate test procedures for which there is no automation tool, identify
the appropriate design classes and packages. Use the test cases and the use
cases they derive from as input.
