Abstract: [This abstract is based on the authors' abstract.]Model-based software testing is a technique in which the test cases are taken from a model of the system being tested. The model is usually an abstract representation of the desired behavior given as one or more finite state machines (FSMs). Obtaining a correct and complete set of FSMs for model-based testing can be difficult. A method is proposed for developing an FSM model appropriate for model-based testing of object-oriented software. The method begins with the development of sequences that are then converted into a set of FSMs to which lower level details can be added. A telecommunications case study illustrates the application of the method.
