| Notes: | Jonas Boberg will he presenting his thesis at the next Erlang London User Group Meeting. This is also a sneak preview of his paper which has been accepted at the 2008 ACM SIGPLAN workshop in Victoria, Canada. He has studied the use of Quick Check and Model Based testing in the before and after scenario of two similar Erlang related projects, with interesting results. With Summer Vacations and busy schedules, the presentation will be on Wednesday August 13th. It will start at 18.30 in Erlang Training and Consulting's London offices. Abstract: Current and future trends for software include increasingly complex requirements on interaction between systems. As a result, the difficulty of system testing increases. Model based testing is a test technique where test cases are generated from a model of the system. In this study we explore model-based testing on the system-level, starting from early development. We apply model-based testing to a sub-system of a message gateway product in order to improve early fault detection. The results are compared to another sub-system that is tested with hand-crafted test cases. Based on our experiences, we present a set of challenges and recommendations for system-level, model-based testing. Early results indicate that model-based testing, starting from early development, significantly increases the number of faults detected during system testing. Biography: Jonas Boberg has a Bachaleor's degree from the IT University of Gothenburg, Sweden. He is passionate about model based testing and test driven development, having worked with it throughout his studies and internships. He works as a Quick Check consultant for Erlang Training and Consulting.
