Model-Based Testing with NModel

Posted by: Jesper Goertz on January 21, 2010 DIGG
In model-based testing you let a model of the system drive the testing. In 2008 a free open source toolset was released by Microsoft Research accompanied by the book Model-based Software Testing and Analysis with C#. The toolset runs on .NET and comprises a model viewer for the state-transition graph, a test generator and a test runner for offline and online testing.

Making the model in C# is half the work, the other half is construction of a test harness (a stepper). I have made a remote stepper for testing implementations in other languages and other platforms than C# and .NET, in which a RemoteStepperProxy communicates with a remote stepper over TCP and receives asynchronous observations over UDP.

The NModelRS-1.0.0 is released under Apache 2.0 license and contains a .NET proxy, a Java remote stepper (and a file stepper) and a test harness for the ATMExample in the book Practical Model-Based Testing: A Tools Approach. You can find it at http://nmodelrs.berlios.de/ where the remote stepper and the example is presented.

Entrepreneurship

Posted by: John Simpson on July 15, 2010 in response to Message #331587
Thus, the Federal Institute for Geo-sciences, German coal reserves for decades, with 23-24 billion tons had indicated. In 2004 it was downgraded to 183 million tons, reducing by 99 percent. Also in the lignite, there was dramatic entrepreneurship devaluations of more than 80 percent. Germany is the largest lignite-sponsor of the world. Similar trends, though not quite so massive, there are, for example, in Britain or Poland.
