Automated model-based testing based on an agnostic-platform modeling language

Currently multiple Domain Specific Languages (DSLs) are used for model-driven software development, in some specific domains. Software development methods, such as agile development, are test-centered, and their application in model-based frameworks requires model support for test development. We introduce a specific language to define generic test models, which can be automatically transformed into executable tests for particular testing platforms. The resulting test models represent the test plan for applications also built according to a model-based approach. The approach presented here includes some customisations for the application of the developed languages and transformation tools for some specific testing platforms. These languages and tools have been integrated with some specific DSL designed for software development.
