Surveying model based testing approaches characterization attributes

Abstract

In this paper, we describe the planning, execution, and initial results analysis of a survey accomplished with Model Based Testing researchers and practitioners. This survey has two purposes: observing (1) which attributes could be adequate to characterize Model-based Testing Approaches and (2) what is the relevance of them when selecting MBT approaches for software projects. An initial list of attributes with their relevance has been identified. These results compose a body of knowledge regarding Model-based Testing Approaches intended to support software engineers in using MBT approaches in software projects.
