Patterns and Practices for Model-Based Testing

To apply model-based testing (MBT) to many different applications, simply learning the high-level principles is not enough. You need extra guidance and practice to help orient testers and developers to begin using models for testing. Many people attempting MBT, confused about programming around observation and control, try to duplicate the underlying system functionality in models. Keith Stobie shows you real-world MBT case studies to illustrate MBT ideas you can incorporate into your own practices. Learn to apply MBT patterns and practices to both traditional and model-based test design. See abstracting examples and how these abstractions can help testers with any test suite-model-based or not. Learn to create adapters that act as a specialized programming language--similar to keyword-based testing-for the abstractions of your domain under test. Detect under-testing and over-testing by creating a logging framework using assertions to trace tests back to requirements. With MBT patterns and practices, you can do MBT-More Better Testing!
