ABSTRACT:
A model based testing framework is provided that can be incorporated into and used to supplement existing testing approaches. Via annotation of custom attributes and requirements, the framework provides the ability to author models in the same language as code (e.g., test code) that interacts with the model. Optionally, the model-based testing techniques are accessible and changeable at run-time so that tests and models that are executing can be dynamically altered. Optionally, weights (and other techniques) may be exerted on one or more portions of the model to influence the execution of the tests. The ability to execute the model-based testing techniques on some portions of test code, while running hand-crafted or custom test code on other portions, is also provided.
