Controlling Testing Using Three-Tier Model Architecture
Antti Kervinen, Mika Maunumaa, Mika Katara · Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science · 2006
In this paper, based on our earlier work, we introduce test model architecture for model-based testing through a GUI. The model architecture consists of three tiers. The tiers separate important concerns in GUI testing: navigation in the GUI using keywords, high-level concepts expressed as action words, and test-control related issues defined as control words. For test control, we define a novel coverage language to express coverage objectives. Furthermore, we introduce our refined vision for the associated tool platform enabling system level testing in the Symbian environment. The architecture includes a commercial GUI testing tool that we have extended with components enabling the use of test models.
