Abstract

Testing is essential for proving the quality of all products. It is expensive and hard to test interactive multimedia systems. This paper proposes a model for the test process, and investigates the possibility of deriving test cases from system models and requirement analysis techniques such as requirements definition and specification. We believe this will allow early detection of errors thereby reducing the cost for testing. These test cases can also be used as guidelines on design for testability. Effectiveness of the test tools depends on the careful selection of test cases.
