Abstract(in English) Recently software systems are extensively used in our social life and then high reliability is requiredto be attained in such software systems. Generally, software testing is a key approach toward high reliability and thus the resultant reliability deeply depends on the quality and quantity of test items used in software testing. In this paper, we propose a new method for generating test items. The proposed method consists of the following steps:(1)Describe software behavior using Use-case notation, (2)Apply deviation analysis to the description, (3)Construct software fault tree using analysis result, and(4)Generate test items based on software fault tree. As a result of experimental evaluation, it is shown that the propesedmethod can detect both the overlapping and the lack of test items obtained by conventional method.
