Abstract
The idea of model-based testing is to compare the I/O behavior of a valid behavior model to that of a system one wants to test (the system under test, SUT). In order to do so, a few I/O traces of the model are fixed. Picking “interesting” traces is a demanding task, and it is reflected in test purposes and test case specifications. The input part of a test case is applied to the SUT, and the output of the SUT is compared to the output of the model (this expected output is part of the test case).
