Feature-Based Testing by Using Model Synthesis, Test Generation and Parameterizable Test Prioritization
Martin Reider, Stephan Magnus, Jan Krause · 2018
An approach for feature-based testing in efficient test processes, especially for use in agile development, is presented. Methods of model synthesis, model-based test generation, as well as coverage-based and requirement-based test prioritization are linked together in order to systematically and efficiently obtain prioritized test cases. The result is a reordered test suite promising quick feedback for the test engineer during test execution. The process is highly parameterizable in regard to the selection of features to be tested and the optimization criteria for the test prioritization. Using an example from industrial automation, the results of the work are demonstrated.
