Software and systems engineering — Software testing — Part 8: Model-based testing ISO/IEC/IEEE FDIS 29119-8

Scope

This standard provides requirements and guidelines on applying model-based testing (MBT) in accordance with the test processes defined in ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119-2. This document covers the following areas:
a) Definitions for MBT
b) Implementing ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119-2 for MBT
c) Implementing ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119-3 for MBT
Using MBT, the generation of testware is automated. This standard assumes that test execution is also automated. The implementation of the generation algorithm is tool dependent and therefore is out of the scope for this document. MBT tool selection is also out of the scope for this document.
The MBT models and the information generated by the supporting MBT tools can be used, in part or whole, to satisfy the documentation requirements of ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119-3. Many MBT tools implement one or more of the test techniques and associated measures defined in ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119-4. These techniques are associated with individual tool implementation and are outside the scope of this document.
This standard is applicable to model-based testing in all development lifecycle models.
