Confessions of a Modeling Bigot

Migrating a testing infrastructure from data-driven test automation to a model-driven test architecture, including the need to maintain backward compatibility was a huge challenge for Michael Corning and his groupx0151but a very rewarding one. The test group manages three modeling tools supporting both state-based and grammar-based modeling techniques. Modeling became important and ultimately indispensable not only for product testing but for the test infrastructure development as well. The results can be programs that are self-documenting and virtually self-testing.
