چکیده

Model-based testing (MBT) relies on models of a system under test and/or its environment to derive test cases for the system. This paper discusses the process of MBT and defines a taxonomy that covers the key aspects of MBT approaches. It is intended to help with understanding the characteristics, similarities and differences of those approaches, and with classifying the approach used in a particular MBT tool. To illustrate the taxonomy, a description of how three different examples of MBT tools fit into the taxonomy is provided. Copyright q 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

A Taxonomy of Model-based Testing

Model-based testing relies on models of a system under test and/or its environment to derive test cases for the system. This paper provides an overview of the field. Seven different dimensions define a taxonomy that allows the characterization of different approaches to model-based testing. It is intended to help with understanding benefits and limitations of model-based testing, understanding ...

An Analysis of Use Case Based Testing Approaches Based on a Defect Taxonomy

Use cases are a well-established means for requirements elicitation and specification. Recently, several approaches have argued to take use cases also directly as the basis for testing. In this paper we analyze use case based testing approaches on the basis of a defect taxonomy. For this purpose, we propose a taxonomy classifying typical defects which need to be uncovered during system testing....

Recent Results on Classifying Risk-Based Testing Approaches

In order to optimize the usage of testing efforts and to assess risks of softwarebased systems, risk-based testing uses risk (re-)assessments to steer all phases in a test process. Several risk-based testing approaches have been proposed in academia and/or applied in industry, so that the determination of principal concepts and methods in risk-based testing is needed to enable a comparison of t...

Testing Several Rival Models Using the Extension of Vuong\'s Test and Quasi Clustering

The two main goals in model selection are firstly introducing an approach to test homogeneity of several rival models and secondly selecting a set of reasonable models or estimating the best rival model to the true one. In this paper we extend Vuong's method for several models to cluster them. Based on the working paper of Katayama $(2008)$, we propose an approach to test whether rival models h...

Evaluating Software Maintenance Testing Approaches to Support Test Case Evolution

Software Maintenance Testing is essential during software testing phase. All defects found during testing must undergo a re-test process in order to eliminate the flaws. By doing so, test cases are absolutely needed to evolve and change accordingly. In this paper, several maintenance testing approaches namely regression test suite approach, heuristic based approach, keyword based approach, GUI ...
