Abstract
Model-driven Testing (MDT) refers a model-based testing that follows Model Driven Engineering paradigm, i.e., the test cases are automated generated using models extracted from software artifacts through model transformations. In previous work, we developed a model to model transformation that takes as input UML 2.0 sequence diagrams, and automatically derive test cases scenarios that conforms the UML Testing Profile. In this work, these test case scenarios are automatically transformed using model to text transformation. This transformation, which can be applied to obtain test cases in a variety of programming languages, is implemented with MOFScript, which is also an OMG standard.
