A Measurement Framework for Assessing Model-Based Testing Quality

Abstract

This paper proposes a measurement framework for assessing the relative quality of alternative approaches to system level model-based testing. The motivation is to investigate the types of measures that the MBT community should apply. The purpose of this paper is to provide a basis for discussion by proposing some initial ideas on where we should probe for MBT quality measurement. The centerpiece of the proposal offered here is the concept of an operational profile (OP) and its relevance to model-based testing.
