Abstract

Model-based software testing is well established, and can be traced back to Moore's "Gedanken experiments" on finite state machines from 1956 [10]. The best known approaches involve the use of models (such as UML interaction diagrams or state machines) as the basis for selecting test inputs that seek to explore the core functionality of the system. Outputs from the test executions can subsequently be checked against the model.
