Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his latest work, author Paul C Jorgensen takes his well-honed craftsman’s approach to mastering model-based testing (MBT). To be expert at MBT, a software tester has to understand it as a craft rather than an art. This means a tester should have deep knowledge of the underlying subject and be well practiced in carrying out modeling and testing techniques. Judgment is needed, as well as an understanding of MBT the tools. The first part of the book helps testers in developing that judgment. It starts with an overview of MBT and follows with an in-depth treatment of nine different testing models with a chapter dedicated to each model. These chapters are tied together by a pair of examples: a simple insurance premium calculation and an event-driven system that describes a garage door controller. The book shows how simpler models—flowcharts, decision tables, and UML Activity charts—express the important aspects of the insurance premium problem. It also shows how transition-based models—finite state machines, Petri nets, and statecharts—are necessary for the garage door controller but are overkill for the insurance premium problem. Each chapter describes the extent to which a model can support MBT. The second part of the book gives testers a greater understanding of MBT tools. It examines six commercial MBT products, presents the salient features of each product, and demonstrates using the product on the insurance premium and the garage door controller problems. These chapters each conclude with advice on implementing MBT in an organization. The last chapter describes six Open Source tools to round out a tester’s knowledge of MBT. In addition, the book supports the International Software Testing Qualifications Board’s (ISTQB®) MBT syllabus for certification.

Download or read book Model Based Testing of Reactive Systems written by Manfred Broy and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-06-27 with total page 646 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Testing is the primary hardware and software verification technique used by industry today. Usually, it is ad hoc, error prone, and very expensive. In recent years, however, many attempts have been made to develop more sophisticated formal testing methods. This coherent book provides an in-depth assessment of this emerging field, focusing on formal testing of reactive systems. This book is based on a seminar held in Dagstuhl Castle, Germany, in January 2004. It presents 19 carefully reviewed and revised lectures given at the seminar in a well-balanced way ensuring competent complementary coverage of all relevant aspects. An appendix provides a glossary for model-based testing and basics on finite state machines and on labelled transition systems. The lectures are presented in topical sections on testing of finite state machines, testing of labelled transition systems, model-based test case generation, tools and case studies, standardized test notation and execution architectures, and beyond testing.

Download or read book A Framework for Observation based Modelling in Model based Testing written by Teemu Kanstrén and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the context of software engineering, test automation as a field of research has been around for a very long time. Yet, testing and related concepts are still generally considered to be one of the most time-consuming and expensive parts of the software life cycle. Although it is a field with a relatively long research background, many existing test automation systems are still relatively simple and not very different from the early days. They still focus on executing an existing, usually manually crafted, set of tests over and over again. One approach that has also been around for a relatively long time but has only recently begun to attract considerable interest in the domain of software testing is model-based testing. In model-based testing, the system under test is represented by a model describing its expected behaviour at a higher abstraction level, and a set of chosen algorithms are used to generate tests from this model. Currently, these models need to be manually crafted from the specification. This thesis presents an approach for observation-based modelling in model based testing and aims to provide automated assistance for model creation. This includes design and architectural solutions to support observation and testing of the system, analysis of different types of executions used as a basis for observations, and finally combines the different viewpoints to provide automated tool support to generate an initial test model, based on the captured observations, that is suitable for use in model-based testing. This model is then refined and verified against the specification. As the approach reverses the traditional model-based testing approach of going from specification to implementation, to going from implementation to specification, guidelines for its application are also presented. The research uses a constructive approach, in which a problem is identified, a construct to address the problem is designed and implemented, and finally the results are evaluated. The approach has been evaluated in the context of a practical system in which its application discovered several previously unknown bugs in the implementation of the system under test. Its effectiveness was also demonstrated by generating a highly complete model and showing how the completed model provides additional test coverage both in terms of code covered and injected faults discovered (test mutants killed).
