  2. ETSI and Model-Based Testing • Model-Based Testing (MBT) is an umbrella of approaches that generate tests from models • May be based on system models, models of the environment, or even graphical test specification • Is promising due to a new generation of tools in the market to make test design and specification much more effective • ETSI is evaluating and working on the use of MBT in the context of standardization • ETSI CTI has lead a case study in the ITEA2 D-MINT project • ETSI TC MTS has published first standards related to MBT(e.g., ETSI TR 102 840) • MTS TR WI ongoing on “Model-Based Testing in Telecom”

  3. First Trends from MBT work • Models … • Should be a testing and not specification artifact • Should encode testable requirements, i.e., test purposes • Should not be normative but could available for “own use” • Generated tests … • Should follow conformance testing methodology and standardized formats to be acceptable in standardization context • (A selected set of tests) should be normative • Perceived benefits of this approach include • Improved quality of ETSI test specifications • Faster creation of TTCN-3 test suites and more effective test maintenance • Ability to customize and use models for own test generation

  5. New WI: Concepts for Model Specification • Identify and collect all relevant concepts that model specifications developed for testing should include • Help users to understand what information a model should contain to be suitable for the generation of test specifications that can be standardized • Indirectly it also mandates concepts that MBT tools need to support to facilitate the generation of such tests • Concepts are to be specified independent of a specific modelling language • Mappings to concrete modelling languages could be placed in the Annex (follow idea of TRI) • Intended to be a first standard in a series of standards on model-based testing
