“…We are planning to focus on this problem in the future. There exist recent studies to complement test models with feature models (Samih and Bogusch 2014) and orthogonal variability models (Lackner et al 2014) to capture systematic variations explicitly. These models are used for generating different instances of a reference test model.…”

“…Variations can be better managed at the abstraction level of test models. However, MBT still falls short to address systematic variability for large-scale product families with high number of variations that crosscut test models (Lackner et al 2014;Samih and Bogusch 2014). The problem gets amplified when we utilize embedded test scripts in models to facilitate test execution automation.…”

Model-based testing is a promising approach for increasing the efficiency of the testing process and for improving software quality. It has been employed in the industry for more than a decade. Nevertheless, there are still challenges regarding its application in different domains. Some of these challenges are general, while some others are domainspecific. In this paper, we explain our experiences in enhancing model-based testing for its adoption in the consumer electronics domain, in particular for Digital TV systems. We applied the so-called industry-as-laboratory approach to define/refine research problems and evaluate our research results. We summarize these results and provide an evaluation of relevant research problems for our context. We observed that the industry-as-laboratory approach is highly effective for industry-academia collaboration and technology transfer in the scope of model-based software testing.

“…Based on this, we dened two approaches to automated test design for PLs [16] as depicted in Figure 3: (i) product-centered (PC) and (ii) product line-centered (PLC). The product-centered approach consists of selecting a representative set of products (test models) and afterwards generating test cases from each of these models.…”

Abstract. Developing product lines is usually more ecient than developing single products because of the reuse of single components. Testing, however, has to consider complete, integrated systems. To prevent testing every product on system level, the whole product line should be analyzed with the aim of selecting distinguishing product behavior and a minimum of system products to test. In this paper, we present a model-based test design approach for testing the selected behavior of products, but also their deselected behavior. A major challenge of this approach is that the deselected behavior of a product is often not part of its behavioral model. Thus, we use the variability model to transform the behavioral model so that showing the exclusion of the deselected behavior is also covered by tests. We present the approach, a corresponding prototypical implementation, and our experiences using a set of examples.
