Mobile embedded software applications are typically more difficult to design and build, both because of the problem domain and the constraints placed on them by the target environment. Embedded systems usually have li-mited memory and CPU processing power; these constraints are likely due to size, cost, power efficiency, and heat generation limitations. Embedded system design needs to model together application and hardware architecture. For that a huge number of models are available, each one proposing its own abstraction level associated to its own software platform for simulation or synthesis. Mo-bile and multiplatform solutions even increase this complexity. Testing and managing mobile software applications are important way of handling these complex systems, describing it to different actors inside software business and for analyzing and improving system performance.
In this paper, we present an approach to generate and extend mobile test se-quences model using UML. Although sequence diagrams are used for model-ing the dynamic aspects of the system, they can also be used for model based testing. Existing work does not encompass certain important features of se-quence diagrams like the various interaction operators of combined fragment.
