Model Based Test Generation: An Industrial Experience

Software testing is a crucial activity to a successful software project that demands a significant effort. Aiming at improving software quality as well as to reduce the costs of testing process, we developed TaRGeT, a ModelBased Testing (MBT) tool that automatically generates test cases from use case scenarios written in natural language. In this paper we present TaRGeT and show quantitative and qualitative results of the tool's usage in two case studies of Motorola Brazil Test Center. Such studies point that the use of such a MBT tool reduces the effort of test generation process comparing with the current process that is entirely manual.
