ABSTRACT
This work presents an experimental study of a model-based testing method. We evaluate the use of the method and its tool, during the development of part of an information system. In this study we verified that the use of the method can generate benefits related to cost reduction, from the reduction of test effort and, at the same time, benefits related to test quality, from the failure detection capability improvement.

Recommendations
Optimal Regression Testing Based on Selective Coverage of Test Requirements
ISPA '10: Proceedings of the International Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Processing with ApplicationsTest suite reduction can greatly save the test effort during regression testing. For software development with frequent minor updates, a good policy is to managing selective form regression testing, where the total set of test requirements is divided ...
Requirements for information systems model-based testing
SAC '07: Proceedings of the 2007 ACM symposium on Applied computingIn order to develop systems with a high level of quality and low costs it is necessary to have adequate testing tools and methods. We believe that the definition of a requirements catalog is one of the steps in such direction. This work presents a ...
An empirical comparison of model-based and capture and replay approaches for performance testing
A variety of testing tools has been developed to support and automate the software testing activity. Some of them may use different techniques such as Model-based Testing (MBT) or Capture and Replay (CR). Model-based Testing is a technique for automatic ...
