The Dynamic Answer to Test Automation: Model-Based Testing This paper discusses the advantages to using Model-Based testing. Model-Based testing provides efficient coverage, tests what you expect and what you don’t, and finds crashing and non-crashing bugs. It is resistant to pesticide paradox and is fun to watch. Read on as the author explains this method.

The Future of Test Automation and Its Impact on You Do you think software testing professionals fully leverage the amazing computing power that's available to them? Are you up to speed on the latest research efforts in software testing? Do you know how advances in test automation will affect your testing career in the years to come? Despite huge increases in computing power and exciting new research, test execution is still the only area where software test automation is used with any consistency. With some rare exceptions, most software tests are still designed, developed, and analyzed manually. Even the very popular capture/playback tools are mostly used to automate the execution of "manually" recorded scripts, using "manually" provided test data. We've only scratched the surface of what can, and should, be automated in testing. This presentation shows you how recent advances in software, hardware, and networking will affect test automation over the next several years.

Interface-Driven Model-Based Test Automation For larger projects, interface-driven modeling is often an improvement over the more common requirements-driven models for test automation. Combining both methods, Mark Blackburn presents an interface-driven approach for automated test case creation and test driver generation. He focuses on how test engineers can develop more reusable models by clarifying their written requirements as models using component and system interfaces. Mark Blackburn offers his experiences, insights, and recommendations for applying this approach.
