Strategy to Support the Selection of Model-Based Test Approaches for Software Projects
Abstract
Software technologies, such as model-based testing approaches, have specific characteristics and limitations that can affect their use in software projects. It is very important to make available knowledge regarding such technologies aiming at to support its applicability in software projects. In particular, a choice of model-based testing approach can influence testing success or failure. Therefore, this paper presents the knowledge acquired from some secondary and primary studies regarding model-based testing approaches and the proposal of a strategy towards supporting their selection for software projects.
Keywords:
