Software testing consists in the verification of a program on a finite number of selected executions. In model-based testing (MBT), formal specifications (e.g., FSMs, B models, ASMs, ...) are used to support the testing efforts; in particular, test cases (consisting of both the test data and the oracle) are automatically generated from specifications. The course first introduces concepts on testing and program-based testing. Then, model-based testing is presented by focusing on three main areas: testing of logical expressions, test generation from FSMs, and input space partitioning and combinatorial testing. Model-based testing is usually considered an "offline" testing technique. The last part of the course introduces some approaches of "online" model-based testing, in which specifications are executed together with the implementation: in particular, approaches for doing design by contract and runtime verification of Java programs are presented.
The course consists of both theoretical and laboratory lessons.
