            Abstract : 
To state whether a System Under Test is sufficiently tested requires an assessment of the test suite quality. Existing methods to assess the quality of a test suite either are based on the structure of an implementation or determine the quality using mutation score. In this paper we introduce a method, which is based on inductive inference to assess the quality of a test suite and propose a method to augment a test suite depending on the quality assessment result. In this paper we provide a short glimpse on our objectives and show preliminary results of model inference of a test suite.
