Abstract :
In this paper we present the results of an empirical case study performed at the European Space Agency (ESA). In this major project, the various challenges for testing were tackled using a model-based approach for test design and the generation of executable test automation scripts. An evaluation of this approach´´s efficiency identified significant cost savings and quality improvements.
