Abstract

Model-based testing can be hampered by the fact that a model depicting the system as designed does not necessarily correspond to the product as it is during development. Tests generated from such a model may be impossible to execute due to unimplemented features and already known errors. This paper presents a solution in which parts of the model can be filtered out and the remainder used to generate tests for the implemented portion of the product. In this way model-based testing can be used to gradually test the implementation as it becomes available. This is particularly important in incremental testing commonly used in industry.
