Interface-Driven Model-Based Test Automation

This paper describes an interface-driven approach that combines requirement modeling to support automated test case and test driver generation.

Removing Requirement Defects and Automating TestOrganizations face many problems that impede rapid development of software systems critical to their operations and growth. This paper discusses model-based development and test automation methods that reduce the time and resources necessary to develop high quality systems. The focus is how organizations have implemented this approach of model-based verification to reduce requirements defects, manual test development effort, and development rework to achieve significant cost and schedule savings.
