“…For example most of the research is based on test identification through graph coverage techniques. Therefore the use of MBT and its automation in software projects has been influenced by the risk factors, complexity and cost of the project [13]. The advantage still lies in deriving functional requirements from flow diagrams that guides the measurement of paths and omission of low value paths for testing [14], [15].…”

Model based development and testing techniques have ventured diverse research directions to assure quality of the software product. Models developed during architecture and design phases are efficient tools to assess quality at an early development stage. However, testing the extra-functional or non-functional properties of software systems is not frequently practised eg. reliability. The motivation to our work is to model the context of execution which is significant in system reliability analysis. In this paper we visualize the components of complex software systems and their interactions in the form of Functional Flow Diagram (FFD). This notation specifies the dynamic aspect of system behavior as the context of execution. To further asses reliability, the FFD is translated into Reliability Block Diagram (RBD). The relative importance of the components in terms of reliability is evaluated and is associated with prioritization of the component. The model is simple but significant for system maintenance, improvisation and modification. This model supports analysis and testing through better understanding of the interacting components and their reliabilities.

“…However, the scientific knowledge (evidences) available regarding these approaches is very limited [20]. Keeping MBT approaches in a continuously updated body of knowledge for a software organization context is not a trivial task [22]. There are some factors associated with the testing process that cannot be managed by an MBT approach affecting its application in real software projects [22].…”

“…Keeping MBT approaches in a continuously updated body of knowledge for a software organization context is not a trivial task [22]. There are some factors associated with the testing process that cannot be managed by an MBT approach affecting its application in real software projects [22]. Each software project is unique, with its own features and requirements which may not necessarily be compatible with available MBT approaches.…”

In this paper, we describe the planning, execution, and initial results analysis of a survey accomplished with Model Based Testing researchers and practitioners. This survey has two purposes: observing (1) which attributes could be adequate to characterize Model-based Testing Approaches and (2) what is the relevance of them when selecting MBT approaches for software projects. An initial list of attributes with their relevance has been identified. These results compose a body of knowledge regarding Model-based Testing Approaches intended to support software engineers in using MBT approaches in software projects.
