Input/output transition systems: support to test case generation

Abstract

Model based testing is a promising strategy to automate test generation and execution. The test cases are derived from a model representing the software under test. Several test generation methods for Finite State Machines (FSMs) can be identified in the literature. However, FSMs can be inadequate to represent some classes of software and, therefore, other kind of models should be adopted. Input/Output Transition Systems (IOTS) are examples of such models. Even though IOTS is widely investigated, the theory upon which IOTS testing is based does not provide the same level of support test case generation as there exist for FSMs. Thus, the objective of this work is to investigate how recent results obtained for FSM-based testing can be applied in the context of IOTS-based testing.
