Abstract
As the growth of network technology with high parallelism and high reliability
of distributed systems, they have been widely adopted in the enterprise
and society. But, how to design for testing the real-time or a communication
delay of distributed systems is not been discussed much. This paper proposes
a new method to automatically build Markov Chain Usage Model. The proposed
method establishes the time points and builds a new UML diagram which can
test the communication delay of a distributed system to improve its reliability.
We have confirmed the usefulness of the proposed method to adapt it to
practical examples.
