            Abstract : 
Model-based software testing generally refers to test case selection and result evaluation based on a behavioral model of the target software. It may not, however, be possible to evaluate test results in some situations. For embedded software in a real-time environment, for instance, the results may only appear in a fraction of a second and cannot be observed by the tester. In this paper, we discuss the research opportunities for such situations despite the challenges.
