Holistic Model-Based Testing for Business Information Systems

Abstract

Growing complexity of today’s software development requires new and better techniques in software testing. A promising one seems to be model-based testing. The goal is to automatically generate test artefacts from models, improve test coverage and guarantee traceability. Typical problems are missing reuse of design models and test case explosion. Our research work aims to find a solution for the mentioned problems in the area of UML and Business Information Systems. We use model transformations to automatically generate test models from manually annotated design models using a holistic view. In this paper we define and justify the research problem and present first results.
