Experiences in setting up domain-specific model-based testing

Model-based testing is a technique for generating test cases based on a model of the system under test. Typically the model is expressed in a specific notation of the test tool, using a generic notation intended to describe any system under test. In this paper we present experiences in using a domain-specific modeling layer on top of the specific model-based testing tools. This allows for easier change of the used testing tool, while providing a more familiar modeling notation in terms of the domain concepts familiar to the user. Our experiences show how this can significantly help in adopting the model-based testing approach and provide improved test results.
