Uma abordagem dirigida a modelo para a geração de casos de teste baseada na detecção de cenários implícitos

Abstract

Reliability is a prerequisite, implicit and desirable in most systems. For a system to be reliable, such requirement should be taken into account during all development stages of a system. Implied scenarios are an anomaly generated when concurrent system components communicate in an unexpected way, w.r.t. to the software behavior specification. Testing concurrent systems is a very expensive exercise and hard to reveal faults specially when the system is already deployed and running. Model-Based Testing is an alternative to automate test case generation in concurrent systems, in order to reduce their cost and the inherent complexity of the testing activity. This work leverages model-driven testing techniques to explore implied scenarios detection so as to improve the generation of test cases in concurrent systems.
