Applications, once developed, need to be maintained and tested as they undergo frequent changes. Test automation plays a significant role in testing activity, as it saves time and provides better utilization of resources. Test automation itself comes with many challenges such as mapping of user specifications to test-cases, test-case generation, maintenance of test-cases and test-scripts. In this paper, we propose a model-driven approach for test automation to provide end-to-end assistance in test case generation and automation, with focus on re-usability and maintainability. Functional specifications of system are mapped to test-cases for traceability which ensures better test automation process. Functional specifications of system are used as an input to design process models, which are used for automatic generation of test-cases. Process models consist of flows of different tasks in specified sequence. By recording the individual tasks, test-scripts for all the test-cases are generated. The test-cases and test-scripts can be modified and maintained using user friendly user-interface (UI) to provide better control to test designer and ease the load of tester. In this paper, we also present a case study performed on JBilling application [18] to evaluate our approach.
