Abstract :
We present a technique, termed event flow for selecting system level test cases using a hierarchical state machine model of the system. The strategy is to require test cases which stress the interactions between related events rather than to simply exercise each transition in the model. Event flow selects test cases which are functionally meaningful to the system level tester
