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
