An approach for Model-Driven test generation

The test phase is one of the most important phases in software development. However, in practice, little research has been carried out in this field. Model-Driven Engineering is a new paradigm that can help to minimize test cases generation costs and can ensure quality of results. This paper presents the application of the MDE paradigm in the systematic, even automatic, generation of System Test Software.
