Proof-of-concept of Model-based testing based on an UML-model of a water-level measurement system
Abstract: Software testing is a very important phase in software development as it minimize risks ina software system, however, it consumes time and can be very expensive. With automatictest case generation time consumption and cost can be reduced. Model-based testing isa method to test a software system with a model of the systems behaviour. Automatictest case generation is often considered a favorable support in model-based testing. In thiswork, the concept of model-based testing is explored along with testing the embedded partof a water-level measurement system (WLM) to investigate the efficiency of model-basedtesting on a software system. As a result of this, a model-based testing tool, MoMut::UMLis used to generate the test-cases on the UML model of WLM system that is built ina UML modeling environment, Eclipse-Papyrus. However, MoMut::UML implements aspecial type of model-based testing technique, model-based mutation testing; that injectsfaults in the UML model, and generates test-data on the fault-based model. By this, thebehaviour of system-under-test, only the UML model of water-level measurement system,is tested.
