Abstract
As the size of software is getting huge, it has been impossible for testers to test all of source coed. Therefore, the method which uses information of requirements for testing has been researched and accepted. Although there are a lot of test methods based on requirement specification, each method has a different approach and coverage. So we should consider their various approach and coverage in the stage of test planning. This paper presents the empirical comparison and the result by applying various black-box testing methods to software system. For this experiment we studied five black-box testing methods including UML based specification technique. We applied the five testing methods to application system and evaluated the coverage of extracted test case.
