ADBT Frame Work as a Testing Technique: An Improvement in Comparison with Traditional Model Based Testing

Software testing is an embedded activity in all software development life cycle phases. Due to the difficulties and high costs of software testing, many testing techniques have been developed with the common goal of testing software in the most optimal and cost-effective manner. Model-based testing (MBT) is used to direct testing activities such as test verification and selection. MBT is employed to encapsulate and understand the behavior of the system under test, which supports and helps software engineers to validate the system with various likely actions. The widespread usage of models has influenced the usage of MBT in the testing process, especially with UML. In this research, we proposed an improved model based testing strategy, which involves and uses four different diagrams in the testing process. This paper also discusses and explains the activities in the proposed model with the finite state model (FSM). The comparisons have been done with traditional model based testings in terms of test case generation and result.
