Over the years I have been wondering why folks involved in testing are not more eager to adopt practices that we have shown numerous times to be superior to current practices. Let’s face it, making sure that all the interesting scenarios and corner cases have properly, effectively, and efficiently been tested is not an easy task. In fact, the ...

In my career I have been asked this question a lot of times. How will your approach (to test design) help us to work in a more AGILE way?
More big and small companies are moving from Waterfall to AGILE. Why are they doing that? Simply to do things faster and adapt to a business where complexity is increasing every day because it’s now becoming ...
The automotive industry is constantly facing the significant challenge of releasing cars with no software defects. It goes without saying that a software fault in the braking system, in the traction control system or in the assisted steering system can be catastrophic, while problems in non safety critical components may “only” annoy the user, yet ...
Recently I wrote a blog post about the action language adopted and standardized by the OMG (Object Management Group) called Action Language for fUML or Alf where I alluded about something that I call “model driven workflow” (MDW) — a modeling workflow that embraces modeling across the whole software development lifecycle integrating design, ...
I remember more than 10 years ago when we were making a decision on what the modeling language we should be using for creating Conformiq Designer models. It was quite clear that we wanted to have a graphical notation that the user could use to capture high-level control flow and life cycle of objects as well as event loop structures and high-level ...
Quite often when people talk about MBT (Model Based Testing) they intuitively assume that model is always something with “boxes and arrows”; that is the model in MBT needs to be graphical and it is constructed out of some kind of nodes or vertices which are then connected using arrows of some sort. To some, model may simply mean a state chart or ...
In many industries, like aerospace, defense, telecommunication and others, it’s becoming common to use UML/SysML to describe system architectures. With the introduction of OMG fUML, many companies began refining their models to the level where they became executable. The next big step is to adopt model-based testing in which standard executable ...
We all know the power of test automation and model-based testing (MBT).
But has your traditional test automation approach lived up to its promise?
Do you spend 70% of your time in test execution?
Do you use a variety of software development lifecycle (SDLC) tools?
Do you have legacy test and manual tests you want to use, along ...

We live today in a world where we can quickly establish a call from our computer to people living on the opposite side of the world. Our applications can be used anywhere, even in places we have never heard of! With the 21th century, we entered an era of big challenges around internationalization of products. How can tests deal with so many ...
Model-based testing saves you lots of time and money. It’s true, and believe me - I’m deeply convinced about that. Model-based testing helps you generate better tests faster, with better quality. Something else the test manager must be aware of: it’s fun to create models! Who would not prefer to create models rather than create tests manually? ...
The challenge of testing web applications is becoming more and more predominant in our world. Basically the big challenge is how to describe what we want tested in a graphical manner, while facing frequent changes to the user interface with little time and ever-increasing application complexity.
Usually, we as testers base our test cases on ...
