Literature Survey on Model based Slicing

Software testing is an activity which aims at evaluating an feature or capability of system and determining that whether it meets required expectations. One way to ease this program slicing technique is to break down the large programs into smaller ones and into other is model based slicing that break down the large software architecture model into smaller models at the early stage of SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle). This is the novel methodology to extract the sub model from a big model diagrams on the basis of slicing criteria. The proposed procedure used the concept of model based slicing to slice the sequence diagram to extract the desired lump.This literature survey presents an overview of Model based slicing, including the various general approaches and techniques used to compute slices.
