Abstract

This paper describes a model-based method for the automatic generation of test cases in software product lines. The approach is completely based on well-known standards, such as UML 2.0, the UML Testing Profile and the QVT Language. To reach the goal, it is essential to maintain the traceability between different abstraction levels, as well as between domain and product engineering levels. The method is achieved using the Orthogonal Variability Model as an UML Profile.
