Model-Based Testing

Model-Based Testing (MBT) is a software testing technique in which test cases are generated based on a graphical model that describes the functional aspects of the system under test. It enables quality engineers and business analysts to collaborate easily and manage testing with optimal efficiency.

Working with MBT provides you with the following advantages:

  • Collaborate between application experts and QA teams.

  • Focus your testing on the most critical areas of the application.

  • Manage your test data and view automated testing results over time, in one central location.

MBT supports the following testing tools:

  • UFT One

  • Selenium (TestNG)

  • FT Design

For details, see the following topics.
