Model-Based Testing

Model-based testing is increasing its popularity as an industrial strength testing method for complex systems. Its abilities to automate the laborious test design phase and to achieve higher coverage than conventional testing methods are important drivers in this respect. Moreover, model-based testing has proved to be an effective bug finding method. However, there are issues especially on the modeling side that still need a lot of research. The goal of this seminar is to review different approaches to this technology and discuss the pros and cons of solutions behind tools such as fMBT, OSMO and TEMA.
