An Agile and Tool-Supported Methodology for Model-Driven System Testing of Service-Centric Systems

In this chapter, the authors present an agile and model-driven system testing methodology for service-centric systems called Telling TestStories. The methodology has a tool implementation and is based on separated system, requirements, and test models that can be validated in an integrated way. Test models contain test stories describing test behavior and test data in an integrated way. The underlying testing process is iterative, incremental, and supports a test-driven design on the model level. After a general overview of the artifacts and the testing process, the authors employ the methodology and the tool implementation on a case study from the healthcare domain.
