  • Abstract
    An automated testing system that is well integrated into the software development process is considered. The knowledge-based interactive test script system (Kitss) focuses on functional testing. It ignores a program´s internal design and structure and directly uncovers discrepancies in the program´s behavior as viewed from the outside world. Kitss uses the same expressive input medium that is normally used and outputs test scripts in an automated test language. Kitss checks the tests for consistency with its built-in domain model, which yields even better tests.<>
