Model-Based Testing is a software testing technique where test cases are automatically generated from a model that describes the expected behavior of the system under test (SUT). Instead of writing test cases manually, testers can create a model, and the tool or framework generates test cases based on that model.
Advantages of MBT
Advantages of MBT
- automation - reduces manual effort in test case creation
- consistency - ensures tests align with system requirements
- coverage - helps achieve high test coverage systematically
- early testing - models can be tested before code is written
Model-Based Testing (MBT) has strong connections to Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Model Generation, Test Case optimisation, anomaly detection (think Grafana and Datadog as live examples) and more.
