are used to facilitate the generation of executable test cases.
Acceleo is then used to perform a Model-To-Text (M2T)
transformation, converting the generated test cases from a
model representation into a textual representation that can be
executed.
A. Metamodeling Constructs
In order to establish a clear and structured foundation for
our research, we defined two metamodels: the UML Activity
Diagram metamodel, which serves as a source for our model
transformation process, and the Extended Finite State
Machine metamodel, which represents the target model. To
implement these metamodels, we utilized the Eclipse
Modeling Framework (EMF) and represented them in Ecore.
The official UML specification [8] can be complex to
navigate and hard to understand. Therefore, this metamodel
has been heavily criticized, and the use of simplified
metamodels is prevalent in most of the literature on this
subject [11]. To address this issue, a simplified metamodel for
the Activity Diagram is proposed in this study, depicted in Fig.
1, in comparison to the metamodel specified by the OMG.
The proposed metamodel contains 19 metaclasses and
eliminates constructs that are not frequently used in practice.
By streamlining the metamodel, it is easier to understand and
apply in practice, providing a more practical and Fig. 1. Activty Diagram Metamodel
straightforward approach to Activity Diagrams.
As shown in Fig. 2, the metamodel used for EFSM is
comprised of six metaclasses, with EFSM serving as an
abstraction of an Extended Finite State Machine. Within the
EFSM entity, there are states, transitions, and context
variables [5].
B. Metamodels Transformation Principles
A detailed description of the rules for transforming an
Activity Diagram into an Extended Finite State Machine is
provided in this section. The defined transformation rules are
listed below:
• RInitialNode: For the node of type InitilalNode, first
an EFSM is created with the same name of the AD,
then initial state S0 is added to it. The initial state is Fig. 2. Extended Finite State Machine Metamodel [5]

of the corresponding node in the AD are considered
as inputs for the transition. Additionally, this rule
checks all control flows of a node to see if any flow
goes backward without any conditions. If such flows
exist, a new transition is created to connect the
corresponding states to each other, and the inputs of
these transitions are labeled as previously explained.
After creating these new states and transitions, the
previous and current states are updated as usual.
Our implementation of the transformation rules relied on
Atlas Transformation Language (ATL).
In this study, we are utilizing a slightly modified version
of some of the lazy rules proposed in [5], in combination with
our matched rules. Specifically, the following lazy rules are
employed:
• LrInitialState: The initial state S0 is created,
followed by incrementing the state order. Both the
previous state and the current state are updated to the
newly created initial state. Additionally, the name of
the Activity Diagram is stored in a variable.
• LrState: A new state is generated, the state order is
incremented, the previous state is updated to the
current state, and the current state is changed to the Fig. 3. ATM Activity Diagram
newly created state.
• LrTransition: A transition is established, connecting
the previous state to the current state. The transition's
input is labeled with the input/output pin of the
Activity Diagram. The output, guard, and action can
be null and depend on the type of the activity node.
In our study, we used an automatic four-step approach for
generating test cases. This approach involves implementing
the EFSM model interface, implementing the adapter,
generating the test cases, and then concretizing them. These
four steps were automatically generated using Acceleo.
