Model-Based Testing for the Cloud

Authors: Antonia Bertolino, Wolfgang Grieskamp, Robert Hierons, Yves Le Traon, Bruno Legeard, Henry Muccini, Amit Paradkar, David Rosenblum, and Jan Tretmans

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 10111, Practical Software Testing : Tool Automation and Human Factors (2010)

Abstract
Software in the cloud is characterised by the need to be highly adaptive and continuously available. Incremental changes are applied to the deployed system and need to be tested in the field. Different configurations need to be tested. Higher quality standards regarding both functional and non-functional properties are put on those systems, as they often face large and diverse customer bases and/or are used as services from different peer service implementations. The properties of interest include interoperability, privacy, security, reliability, performance, resource use, timing constraints, service dependencies, availability, and so on. This paper discusses the state of the art in model-based testing of cloud systems. It focuses on two central aspects of the problem domain: (a) dealing with the adaptive and dynamic character of cloud software when tested with model-based testing, by developing new online and offline test strategies, and (b) dealing with the variety of modeling concerns for functional and non-functional properties, by devising a unified framework for them where this is possible. Having discussed the state of the art we identify challenges and future directions.

10421 Abstracts Collection – Model-Based Testing in Practice

Authors: Wolfgang Grieskamp, Robert M. Hierons, and Alexander Pretschner

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 10421, Model-Based Testing in Practice (2011)

Abstract
From 17.10. to 22.10.2010, the Dagstuhl Seminar 10421 ``Model-Based Testing in Practice '' was held in Schloss Dagstuhl~--~Leibniz Center for Informatics. During the seminar, several participants presented their current research, and ongoing work and open problems were discussed. Abstracts of the presentations given during the seminar as well as abstracts of seminar results and ideas are put together in this paper. The first section describes the seminar topics and goals in general. Links to extended abstracts or full papers are provided, if available.

10421 Summary – Model-Based Testing in Practice

Authors: Wolfgang Grieskamp, Robert M. Hierons, and Alexander Pretschner

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 10421, Model-Based Testing in Practice (2011)

Abstract
Software testing is one of the most cost-intensive tasks in the modern software production process. Model-based testing is a light-weight formal method which enables the automatic derivation of tests from software models and their environment. Model-based testing (MBT) has matured as a rich research area in the last decade, with a significant body of research and applications. The academic community is well established with many conferences, workshops, and research projects. Tools for model-based testing have been developed both as research prototypes and as commercial or semi-commercial applications brought to users by midsize and enterprise-level companies, and applied in large scale projects. In the family of model-driven approaches, model-based testing can be seen as a success story in particular with respect to the degree of mechanical processing and automation that has been achieved, and the adoption in practice. The successful deployment of model-based testing in industrial settings can be seen in the telecommunication domain, chip cards, specific Windows components, and embedded systems in general. An interesting issue is under which circumstances we can expect these successes to carry over to other domains and families of systems as well (e.g., distributed systems; testing the cloud).
