Abstract:
This paper proposes a model-based approach for composition of Behavior Driven Acceptance Tests (BDATs) using Event Sequence Graphs (ESGs). ESGs are used to generate test sequences automatically. For the composition process of BDATs, the ESG formalism is extended with tags and the technique called elimination of tags by combination is introduced for tagged ESGs. The proposed approach improves testability of existing behavior driven acceptance test suites. It is validated through a real-life example. The results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach.
