“…Thus in case of a requirements change there is an effort to be made not only to adjust the textual FRS, but also a usage model needs to be updated. In Entin [1] we defined and successfully implemented a process which decreases the maintainability effort of test automation code in that the so-called test steps have been introduced. However the usage models itself still need to be changed completely manually.…”

“…The definition of the paths is performed by a dedicated SpecFlow plugin in Microsoft Visual Studio. The manually generated feature file is imported into the Text2Mod tool which has been implemented as a plugin of TAI framework [1]. The output of the transformation step performed by Text2Mod is a usage model in graphml file format [15].…”

“…In the past four years we made research in the area of model-based testing, conceived, implemented and leveraged an approach [1,2] that allows us to easily maintain the automatically generated test cases in such agile software development process as SCRUM [3]. The test cases generated are both graphical user interface (GUI) and application programming interface (API) tests.…”

In the past years model-based testing (MBT) has become a widely-used approach to the test automation in the industrial context. Until now the application of MBT has been limited to the software quality engineers with very good modelling skills. In order to guarantee the completeness of a model and to increase its precision there is a need to allow the usage of the approach by other project stakeholders such as requirements engineers as well as software quality engineers with a limited modelling experience. In this contribution we share the challenges discovered during the several years of the application of a certain MBT technique in a SCRUM project with particular regard to the definition of precise and complete models. A process which involves the entire software project team into the model definition starting at the very early stages of product development is presented along with its concrete implementation. First experiences with the application of the process in a particular project are presented. 1

“…Entin et al (2011)[10] apresentam uma abordagem para combinar as técnicas de Captura e Repetição (CR) e MBT. Esta abordagem consiste em criar um conjunto reutilizável de caminhos de teste, através de uma ferramenta de CR e posteriormente integrar estes caminhos a modelos comportamentais que serão a base para aplicação da técnica de MBT e geração de Scripts de teste.…”

Este trabalho analisa como Teste Baseado em Modelos (Model-based Testing MBT) pode ser aplicado em times que utilizam métodos ágeis, mais especificamente Scrum. Para isso, realizamos dois estudos: um mapeamento sistemático de literatura e uma pesquisa de campo. Os resultados do mapeamento sistemático foram utilizados para identificar os trabalhos já publicados que apresentam dificuldades encontradas no processo de MBT quando aplicado em projetos ágeis de desenvolvimento de software. A pesquisa de campo, por sua vez, foi realizada através de entrevistas realizadas com profissionais que trabalham focados em testes de software em equipes ágeis. Neste estudo objetivamos coletar as opiniões dos profissionais a respeito da utilização de MBT no contexto de suas equipes. Por fim, corroboramos o resultado obtido na entrevista com os especialistas e os resultados obtidos com o mapeamento sistemático e elaboramos uma proposta de boas práticas para implementação de MBT em equipes ágeis. Os resultados atuais, obtidos através de uma survey indicam que a proposta é adequada para o contexto a qual se propõe.
